Sheesh. I totally forgot, I've done this before: Create a TextField in your FLA, embed the selected character set into that textfield, stick that in a symbol, use [Embed] to embed that symbol ( [Embed(source="blah.swf", symbol="textMC")]), then you're off to the fonty races, if memory serves. I've gotten this to work in the past, but honestly I forget the particulars.
