    I created form fields in the flash file so that it loads the variables into the flash movie. viewing it onmy mac that already has the font installed it looks fine.

    But after burning all the files to a CD-R and when i view it on a PC that doesn't have the font installed. The form fields take on a different font than what i had planned. Making things look really bad.

    Is there anyway that i can fix this???
    Please help......

    Dynamic text relies on the Font being installed on the Users Machine. The solution is to make sure that the paticular font is on the users machine. You will have to write an app that checks for the font and then installs it.

    Regular text (Non Dynamic) in Flash on the other hand is not dependent on the Fonts being on the Machine and the text is actually converted into Shape Glyphs.

    Depending on what message you are presenting you may want to reconsider using Dynamic text... Otherwise break out the VB, C++, C, C+... Compiler.
