@John & paulo:

I just did something like this:

public var headerText:TextField = new TextField();

private var fTimes:Font = new fontTimes();

with (headerFormat)
{
color = 0×000000;
font = fGill.fontName;
size = 16;
bold = false;
}

with (headerText)
{
defaultTextFormat = headerFormat;
x = 0;
y = 0;
embedFonts = true;
antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
border = false;
width = 100;
height = 20;
selectable = false;
wordWrap = true;
text = “Default”;
}

I hope it helps.

P.s. Remember what Ben said:
“… having the var and class named the same caused an error”

How to refer to an embedded font in an external class imported in the main flash movie?

externalClass.as
==========
var helve:Font = new Helve();

1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Helve

Hey there ! do you have a workaround for special characters? Registering a font with this embed solution is simple but accesing special characters and glyphs … UNICODE based elements like latin special characters is difficult. Do you know a way to do it, becuase there’s no point to use embed fonts if he actually gives you just a small amount of characters .
Thanks in advance.
