Loading font at runtime for TLF in Flex 3.3

Question

Hey flexers,I have an app that's using the Flex 3.3 SDK.  We pulled the text layout swc from Flex 4 and are using a text flow in our app.  Previous to this we had been using the old TextField.How do I go about loading in a font swf at runtime and getting a text flow to use it?  I've tried several things as posted on the forum and around the web and it never actually takes effect in the text flow.  Here are a couple questions I came up with along the way though:When I compile the font swf from the font css, do I need to have embedAsCFF=true?Should I be able to use StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations() to load in the font swf?  When I do, I get the following error:VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.modules::ModuleBase could not be found.Any idea why or know how I would load in the font swf?

Let me clarify a bit. Here it says that I need to set embedAsCFF=true to use the font with FTE:

It's my understanding that in order to use embedAsCFF=true I need to be using the Flex 4 sdk. However, when I convert the CSS to a SWF and attempt to load it into my Flex 3.3 app using StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations() I get the error:

VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.modules::ModuleBase could not be found.

It would appear it's because I'm attempting to load a font "module" that was built in Flex 4 into an app built in Flex 3.3. Is it possible to load a Flex 4 module into a Flex 3.3 app? Is there some other workaround?
