Flash text fields

    Ok, since the client i'm working on requires the flash pieces translated in 26 languages (all europe) we had to set text with dynamic text fields and system default font (_sans).

    On this project i have to rotate the text and with the system default font i cannot do that.

    The obvious solution would be embedding fonts. The fact is that we already had problems embedding the whole arial thing (the Cyrillic languages were badly spaced).

    So is there a way to deal with this?
    Ideally the solution would be knowing the country (which is specified on the xml) and then loading/importing a fontset for the specified language to apply to the text fields.
    Is there any chance to do that dynamically? Anyone can point out the direction to follow?

    Thanks in advance

      embed a font into a swf, set it for export, give linkage id, set for runtime sharing. repoeat for all the font you need. name fla/swf as sont name then after you detect the lang load the appropriate shared asset lib (swf with yr font) and dynamically assign the embedded font to the textfield with as

      On a project with a multi lingual support, we embedded Arial Unicode, chose what character sets to include and it all worked fine.
