embedding fonts
For any text that may be edited during runtime, you should embed the fonts. Since
the user can enter any kind of text in Editable text boxes, you need to include those
potential characters in the final SWF to ensure that text appears as you expect it,
with the same font that you’ve chosen in the Properties inspector.
1 Select the first Editable text box next to Rate.
2 In the Character section of the Properties inspector, click the Embed button.
The Font Embedding dialog box appears. The font that is used in the selected
text box appears on the left.
P Note: Embedding
fonts dramatically
increases the size of your
final SWF, so exercise
caution when doing so,
and limit the number
of fonts and characters
when possible.
3 In the Character ranges section, select Numerals. Click OK.
All the number characters of the current font, Times New Roman Regular,
will be included in the published SWF.
