Question about fonts in Flash

[mchen]

Hi,
I'm learning to use flash to create a website and I was wondering if it is fine to use fancy fonts.. I have used HTML before and I know that you have to convert the font text into images...Does this applies to Flash as well? Will it also increase the file size? I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks in Advance!
Mina.

You need to embed your Fonts, so here a short guide.

1. Select your textarea
2. Look at properties, you see a button 'Embed..'
3. Click on that button
4. Choose your character set (or mutiple)
5. Click 'OK'
This is only possible for dynamic tekstfield and input field.
That's it. You need to do that for ALL text areas.

Good luck

This is only possible for dynamic tekstfield and input field.

this is because for static text, the characters are automatically embedded. so feel free to use any font you like for static text.
