So I made 2 flash thingies. One was a sig for a game I play, and the other was a header-bar-type thing for a part of my website. In both of them, I used a font named Visitor TT2 BRK. After I reformatted, [and before I installed the font] The font wasnt showing up correctly on the sig. Well, figures right, I didnt install it yet.. but when I went to go look at the header thing on the site, it was showing up just fine!

Wtf?:o

Not kwowingly obviously..

How do you embed a font?

EDIT::
I found out how.. but I've never done this before, so I still dont know how it hapened.
I think I read that Flash 8 automatically embedded fonts?
I made the sig in CS3 and the header in 8 so that might be why.

With static text the font is automatically embedded. With dynamic text, the default is that the font is not embedded, so you must manually embed it...
