    Hi all,

    I create a dynamic textfield within actionscript,i need this textfield in a scrollpane later on. So i need to embed the font. But this doesn't work.....

    It does work when i put a textfield on the stage,set it dynamic, and embed all characters....but when i do it all by actionscript it doesn't work....and i need to do it with actionscript....

    So: when i embed text within my dynamic textfield created with actionscript it doesn't show the text at all.....can anyone give me a hand with this????

    thanx a lot...

    If you're referring to the embedFonts property of the Textfield object, then for embedFonts = true to work, the font must have been embedded earlier in the movie. So what you need to do is place a textfield off-screen where you embed the font outline in the first frame, then embedFonts should work.

    Hope this helps.
