Thanks, Jim. I appreciate your help. Your post makes sense to me and
I'll play with modifying the styleSheet object.
If anyone has examples of this, it would probably save me a couple of
hours experimenting.
Thanks all,
Marc

You can do this. I don't have time to do even pseudocode, but....
Once you've loaded a sylesheet from a file, you can modify it.
Therefore, you can build a function to:
1. Modify a property of your styleSheet object.
2. Broadcast notification that it has been modified to all interested
text fields. If you don't know what I mean, look into
EventDispatcher, AsBroadcaster, or the Observer Pattern in general.
Once each textfield is notified that there's been a change in its
stylesheet, it can trigger a function to reassign its stylesheet
property to that altered stylesheet. Kind of like refreshing....

Well, one question leads to another :)
First, thank you Jim -- I had avoided "embedFonts" thinking it would
embed the entire character set, but according to the Size Report it
embeds only those characters I embed in the dummy text fields. So now
it's working fine.
And now my next question: Is there a way to dynamically
increase/decrease type size when using CSS? Once the CSS is loaded
into the swf, can I modify its font-size settings? I can change type
size using textFormat, but since it seems you can't combine
textFormat with CSS, I lose the benefits of CSS (in particular the
ability to define a:link and a:hover).
thanks,
Marc
