Question

random glyphs not embedded in loaded swf?

I have a swf that when viewed in the standalone player all fonts appear correctly.  But when I load that swf into another swf, one of the fonts has seemingly random glyphs that don't get embedded, and instead show up as Times New Roman.  The content of these text fields won't change at runtime and they don't have instance names.  When I enumerate the fonts I can see that the font is embedded, so I don't understand why some letters and numbers show up in a different font.  Any ideas on how to solve this?

Hi Dave, I don't know the answer and don't think it's TLF related, can you please send your question to Flex SDK forum ? Maybe they knows the answer. http://forums.adobe.com/community/opensource/flexsdk/developers

I figured it was TLF related since it doesn't happen when I use the classic text field, but I managed to come up with a solution, I had to register the fonts in the main swf rather than the loaded swfs.
