2nd Font WONT embed. Keep getting error: 1151 A conflict exist-HELP

I am trying to embed a font. It is the same font but, different sizes ( I dont know if that matters, one size is 11 the other is 15).  I set up my actionscript as so (please see below), but I continue to get this error message: 1151 A conflict exist  with definition dtText2 in namespace internal. WHAT I AM DOING WRONG?  And do I need another set of code if I am using the same font but instead of size=15; I am using size=11;?    PLEASE HELP.

var font3:Font=new Font3();

var dtFormat:TexFormat=new TextFormat();

var dtText2:TextField=new TextField();

dtFormat.Font=Font3.fontName;

dtFormat.size=15;

dtText2.autoSize=

TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;

dtText2.defaultTextFormat=dtFormat;

dtText2.embedFonts=true;

Why is it giving me error 1151 A conflict exist.....?  I have tried changeing the name of my var dtText2, and I even instance my dynamic Text, naming it myText2 but I continue to get errors.  Can anybody help I have been working on embeding fonts for days now and continue to get stuck.

Thanks for anything that you can do.

first, you should be using:

var font3:Font=new Font3();

var dtFormat:TexFormat=new TextFormat();

var dtText2:TextField=new TextField();

dtFormat.font=font3.fontName;  // notice the cases.  you had 2 errors on this line

dtFormat.size=15;

dtText2.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;

dtText2.defaultTextFormat=dtFormat;

dtText2.embedFonts=true;

second, you don't need to embed a font twice if the only change is size.

Thanks you. What script would I use if I have the same font but different sizes? Do I leave the autoSize blank?

if you want to use the same font but different size/color etc, just create a different textformat instance or you could re-use the one you already defined:

var font3:Font=new Font3();

var dtFormat:TexFormat=new TextFormat();

var dtText2:TextField=new TextField();

dtFormat.font=font3.fontName;

dtFormat.size=15;

dtText2.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;

dtText2.defaultTextFormat=dtFormat;

dtText2.embedFonts=true;

//

var dtfFormat3:TextFormat=new TextFormat();

var dtText3:TextField=new TextField();


dtFormat3.font=font3.fontName;

dtFormat3.size=22;

dtFormat3.color=0xaa0000;

dtText3.autoSize=whatever

dtfText3.defaultTextFormat=dtFormat3;

dtText3.embedFonts=true;

it only gets tricky when you want bold or italic or bold and italic fonts embedded.  those are different fonts and those need to be embedded seperately.
