embedFonts=true fails

[scudsucker]

Hi everyone: using MX2004, and looping through an array to create mutliple dynamic textfields, my font refuses to embed.

How to I ensure that a font is embedded? Linkage? or what? I've already tried to embed the font through creating a textfield in frame 1 with "embed" is true, and in the library by importing the font and adding Linkage properties ( export for actionscript, frame 1), but its still not working.

code:

---

// mv is a reference to a newly created moviClip

mv.createTextField("txt", mv.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 100, 22);

				mv.txt.html = true;

				mv.txt.htmlText = a[cols];

				//

				var txtFmt = new TextFormat();

				txtFmt.embedFonts = true;

				txtFmt.font = "ProFontWindows";

				txtFmt.size = 15;

				//

				mv.txt.autoSize = true;

				mv.txt.setTextFormat(txtFmt);

Dont worry- I've done a work-around: creating a movieclip with a textfield in it on the stage, manually selecting "embed font" then instead of creating new movieclips I attach the one I have created.

Would still be interested as to why embedFonts=true faisl even when the font appears in every way to be embedded via linkage AND by having a textfield with "embed fonts" enabled...

It's TextField.embedFonts , and not TextFormat.embedFonts...

You don't set the embedding in the text format, but on the textfield itself.
