Regarding the embedded font issue:
We have following solution which seems to work well. It's also a similar
solution we have used on Flash 7 and 8.
Embed the fonts into a SWF (Flash 8 or 9) both work with Flex. Basically put
them in a clip on the stage in the Flash IDE. Lets call it fonts.swf.
Then you create a CSS with following tags
@font-face {
src:url("../fonts/fonts.swf") ;
fontFamily: "DIN Neuzeit Grotesk Std Bold Cn" ;
}
.MainHeading {
fontFamily: "DIN Neuzeit Grotesk Std Bold Cn" ;
fontSize: 22px ;
color: #55852A ;
}
Now you use FlexBuilder and compile the CSS into a SWF.
Then use the StyleManager to reference and load the generated css SWF
Then you could do [UIComponent].styleName = ".MainHeading" ;
Hope that helps, I might be behind you guys but this has worked on a couple
of tests we have done. I guess the font.swf will still be loaded from each
module using it but it will be returned from the browser cache. Not sure if
Adobe have some internal caching on these loaders.
Cheers,
Jonas

RG,
1 & 2 & 3 are both linked.
200 kb for a shell plus another 600 kb for RSL's in the initial download is
too nasty.
What i need is modularization of the framework so that it can 'broken up',
a cairngorm framework that supports a Model that is suited for module
development,
and an alternative to databinding that doesn't break each time a module is
set to invisible or unloaded.
Not being able to use embedded fonts is also painful.
This is not a module bashing email by the way.
This is just a perspective of the the pain i've been through.

What is the issue with "smaller swf output file sizes"?
If you use link-report and load-externs, you can optimize swf size for both
the modules and the main app without any issues.
Just out of curiosity, have you filed any bugs regarding the other issues
you've encountered? (Cross-SWF font access is a problem at the player level,
but the other stuff is all fixable.)

Shaun,
Smaller Swf output file sizes,
Module support within the mx framework,
Module support within Cairngorm,
Issues with Viewstacks and Binding,
Embedding Fonts,
I think there are a couple more as well.
