I'm having a hard time figuring this out. So I finish my movie, I exported it, and I see it fine on my mac and on my pc. My client on the other hand sent me a screen grab and the part of the site that has dynamic text doesn't display correctly, Like if fonts where not embeded on the swf. so If you don't have those fonts you won't see anything. I can convert to curves because it's dynamic text loading from an external php file.
Any thoughts?

If you have embeded the fonts then he is probably running it on a flash 7 player. Some 8 sites will work on the player but dynamic text will not display.

yeah if you'vr exported as 8 any areas you've exported as 'readibility' mode.. .they will come up as blank... you could write a simple porcedure that just displays them normally depending on the player.

So there is no way around it then?
If you don't have flash 8 you won't see it correctly?We are using a video feature that is not available on flash 7 so we can't export it as 7 we tried and it doesn't work.
Anyone else?
Thanks SKT!

What Engage said... Although I have no idea how you would go about that.
You could also just put flash detection in and instruct the user that it requires the flash 8 player.

put your 'readibililty' text in frame 2 and if thewy test for 8 go to that frame in the movieclips... haven't tried that... but should work
not sure about the movie clip thingymajig though

i need to so it for some projects... it means that if you're only using flash 8 text and no vectors you can set quality to "_low" so loads of reason to make something recognise the player

try export that text "layer" as swf in flash player 7 mode... then load into your site that is base on flash 8.

really sounds like an embedded fonts issue. how are you embedding them? I imagine you've checked but make sure the properties panel is embedding the proper characters. Also, if you are using bold you'll need to embed the bold version of the font. Also, are your fonts in the library or coming in from an external swf? lots of places to check
