Ah, that's nice.
Using [Embed...] is only possible from Flash CS4, not CS3 right?

Hi,
Thanks guys - it looks like the only way to use Embed is CS4 or
FlashDevelop - that's fine with me, but I also need to get my head
around the fonts that actually have the characters I need - part of the
problem, Arial has Arabic, but not Chinese, so I need to load
accordingly there.
Maybe this will help you a step in the right direction:
The IDE uses C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\en\First
Run\FontEmbedding\UnicodeTable.xml
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/0894.html

ional-ranges/
You can embed a range of characters through AS3. The unicodeRange
property of the embed directive handles this.
[Embed(source='pathToFond', fontName='NameOfFont',
unicodeRange='Range1Start-Range1End,, RangeNStart-RangeNEnd')]

Thanks Glen,
I made the move to mac a few months ago and alas I cannot use Flash
Develop anymore as it was definitely my preferred choice as editor.
However the mac system has proved to be much better for my development
now than the pc ever was so not really grumbling.

Hi,
You can do the AS3 Embed test with FlashDevelop = £0, so download the
FlexSDK, install it, then FD, then maybe try the example on
ScottMorgan's blog -
You should be able to create a simple FD project (AS3 "default") paste
in the code for the font from the blog, and click the build / run b
Michael,
You can do this with the Flex SDK, which is free.

I can access the fonts but do not know how to cast them as a class to

Here is what I have so far with that route in mind.

Use the following code but I need to register the fonts to make them
globally available.

I was thinking of this route but my flex 3 trial has run out. I am

As a precision:
This technique works perfectly with AS3 (I was also using the great

The only big drawback, with AS3, is that you have to be sure that NO

Hello Michael,
try the following:
1) create a FLA, blank, empty timeline, empty stage
2) show the Library, then from the menu on the top right click on
'New font ...'
3) select the font you want to embed, give it a 'Name' with no
spaces. For example: Arial Narrow (actual font name) would be

Hi,
You should still be able to load a separarte SWF with a font
embedded then use this on the stage:

I haven't tried this myself but have you used my old bff getDefinitionByName
var fontClass:Font = getDefinitionByName("fontClassNameWithinTheSwf") as
Font;
and then use the font via the Font class?

I know the offstage technique but what I want is to load an external
swf with the specific font in it. Then use that font in all other
swfs. You could do this in as2 by loading in a swf that had a shared
library font in it. Bit of a hack but it worked.
I cant quite believe Adobe has not add

Hi Michael,
I agree embedding fonts in Flash is a pain.
I don't think you can define a range of characters in an exported
font symbol in the Flash IDE.
(as stated in www.betriebsraum.de).
developer.yahoo.com describes the flex approach.
You might try the following:
