masked font issue / using shared fonts?

[yorkeylady]

Hi everyone,

I would like to load about 50 fonts, and they have to show under a masked area.

I tried to use user fonts from the font list method. But the text didn't show when I selected the font from the list. (embedFonts is set to true for text field).

When I used the method import external library they work fine, but It will take forever to load a file with 50 fonts.

I tried shared libraries, and put a graphic in the file to verify the shared library loaded and put only 4 fonts in each file. The font's didn't show.

The only way it functions for me is to put the font manually into the fla.

I tried loadMovie with a font symbol in it.

Can anyone give me an example of a masked area with a font that is loaded with actionscript?

Are there any other options using loading methods.
