I've gotten this working with fonts but I haven't tried it with other types of assets yet so I don't know if there's a difference. If you serach the flexcoders archive for Embedding fonts at runtime you should find an example that works. Also, to use GetDefinition, the class you are retreiving must be linked to the project, which I don't think happens automatically when the external swf is loaded (someone should tell me if I'm wrong about this point). I found that before I could use a font I had to register the font with the Font class.
This should be a start for you.- DanOn 10/5/06, mitchgrasso

I am trying to use SWFLoader to import an external Flex-generated SWF
into my main Flex app. The external SWF has an embedded font which Iwant to be able to use from the main app as well.I know there are apparent limitations with dynamically embedding assetsbut is this method possible? The documentation leads me to believe that
it should be possible to access the embedded assets within an externalSWF within the same ApplicationDomain but I haven't been successful ingetting this to work (not to mention that the sample code forGetDefinition doesn't seem to work correctly). Are fonts treated
differently than other embedded assets? Assuming I can even get theembedded font class out of the external SWF, how would I then referenceit in a style?I have seen the discussion and solution using RSL components which
leads me to believe this could be possible...thanksMitch Grasso--Flexcoders Mailing ListFAQ:
