I made a very simple Flash file that only has text and shapes and when I published it to take a look at it, it gives me a SP2 warning about active content.
I don't get this warning if I look at other Flash pages on the internet, why is it doing it for this page?

Also, when I go to test the movie in Flash it says:

"Some characters could not be converted to outlines because an appropriate outline font is not available. These characters will disappear in the Flash Movie file...."

Should I be worried about this? It appears normal when I finally open it and look at it, but I don't understand why it's happening. I'm only using some basic shapes, Arial text, and Arial Black text. Is that so crazy?

Howdy and Welcome... :)

I cannot say anything about the SP2 issue...

As for your font problem... You do need to embed the font to make sure that the texts will render out correctly on other computers that do not have the given fonts... It'll increase the size of the SWF abit, but it is safe to embed the font to ensure that your users will see the screen as you do on your computer...

but when I cut out all of the fonts that were in the file, it still gave me the same message??

That probably means you have some more textFields that you forgot to embed the font, or that's totally different issue which I have no idea about...

right you were....
I used the selection tool and highlighted everything and there was one text box which had nothing in it and wasn't visable...

thanks.
