    A bit of a silly question,

    I have not yet tried what I am asking for but hope some of you have done work with embeded fonts and can give me a few pointers.

    I have movie "A" with an embeded font. I am then loading movie "B" in to movie "A".

    Is there a way not to embed the font in movie "B" again, but use movie "A's" embeded font.

    or

    does the embeded font cache and when loading an out side movie with the same embeded font, will it have to load it again.

    thanks, just seeking advice!

    Since each movie is an independent swf it will have to include its own fonts. Regards, Bill

    yeah, along these lines, if you have one text field and include all font outlines do you have to do the same for every text field if you are using the same font throughout?
    I always thought you did, does flash automatically optimise this at all to save these things only once?
