I'm guessing because it's not recognizing the embedded font - you're
seeing the character from the default font, not the embedded font.
A few things I try to make sure of:
1. Don't name the embedded font in the Flash 8 swf file the same as
the system font.
2. Open the Flash 8 SWF back up into Flash 8 IDE (or CS3 IDE). When
you do that, do a list variables - Debug > List Variables. Make note
of the 'exported' font name that Flash used for the font. That name
is what you'll use in Flex.
For example, on using a pixel font (Kroeger 05_56), I exported the
Flash 8 SWF file, the embedded symbol name ended up as "kroeger
05_56_8pt_st". And in Flex, I used this in the CSS as follows:
@font-face {
src: url(../fonts/Kroeger.swf) ;
fontFamily: "kroeger 05_56_8pt_st";
font-weight: normal;
}
And defining the usage of that font, recognizing that in this case
it's a pixel font and doesn't use the advanced anti aliasing....
.assetInfoTitle
{
color:#666666;
fontFamily: "kroeger 05_56_8pt_st";
font-weight: normal;
fontSize: 8;
fontAntiAliasType: normal;
}
Hopefully that will get you on your way.
best,
Jon
