Font embed, help please!

[footoftheduck]

hi everyone, i have a problem that is probably easy for you guys to solve, but i am a total novice at flash!

I have an .fla file on an old mac that i need to edit, using my new machine, and Flash CS5. The original file was created in mx04, and when i transfer it over, a lot of the text is missing, kind of like when you have a missing link in indesign or something. Is there any way that i can embed my fonts/text so that i can simply transfer the file to my new machine, and edit it on CS5?

Any help is seriously appreciated!

If you can open the file in mx04 you should be able to go to the text field and embed it in the properties menu. Otherwise I would try selecting the text (as if highlighting it) and change to a different font. It's possible your computer doesn't have that font, so it's having a hissy fit.

Just my two cents.
