    XML + CSS = font limitations ?

    I have some questions before beginning a few sites but I'm new to XML and CSS (CSS within Flash anyway). If I'm using XML to draw all the text elements into Flash8 is it best practice or necessary to format the text with CSS?

    If so does this mean I am restricted to system fonts or can I embed a font in Flash and tell the CSS to read that info?

    Or can I import the text in the XML file and have the formatting set up within Flash and not bother with a CSS?

    SO basically if I want to use specific fonts should I avoid XML and CSS altogether?

    thanks

    thanks

    Hi C

    funnily enough, i've already used your tutorial to look at XML but this isn't my question. The questions is by using XML and CSS am i limited to 'System' or ' Device' fonts ? or can I embed a font in Flash 8 and have the CSS or XML specify that font ?

    hope this is clearer and thanks for getting back
