-Adobe CS3 Web Premium.
-Compiling using AS3.

I'm pulling in some text values from an external XML file for a "next" button and I set the font to bold when I made it Verdana. I'm not sure why but it still is normal verdana when I compile it.

I've found several posts similar to mine saying I need to embed the bold version of the font, but I don't have the option of purchasing or creating a bold Verdana.

Since it is just Verdana, is there not a method I can use to simply bold the text?

I appreciate any advice,
