I just made a video tutorial that shows you how to:

  1. Create a swf with an embedded font.
  2. Create an application and loads that swf and pulls the embedded font from the loaded swf.

This is really simple and really smart if you need to have multiple fonts in your application.

FYI: once again for best video quality use the fullscreen button.

    I believe your flash detection is faulty - I have flashplayer 10 and cannot see your video - only the alternate content. Maybe your detection script thinks we have flashplayer 1 - kinda sucks.

    Ow man I’m sorry, go figure that would happen if I left the default from cs4!

    I will use the swfObject asap.

    sorry guys.

    ::EDIT:: Fixed! you know what they say when you assume? you make an “ass’ of “u” and “me”
    And that what I get for assuming that CS4 knew how to embed the very software that it developed.
