I have been working on this thing that allows fonts in Flash to resize according to browser font settings, making Flash that bit more accessible.
You can see it here: http://www.fransgaard.net/lab/fl…
Comments and suggestions are very welcome.

this looks great. is the font size based on the browsers settings only or can it take the size from the css as well? e.g. sifr
- fransgaard0
The Flash font is based on the pixel width of 1em of the page. So if you change the em value you also affect the Flash fonts.
But it works differently from sifr. Where sifr is brilliant at replacing headlines and smaller paragraphs, the flash font resizer is more for full flash sites and more complex flash movies such as games and flash applications.

are there any other people developing something similar? if not, make sure you copyright it. i can see it being used a lot. i've got a site coming up that it would work well with.

I don't know of anybody developing something similar... I've heard of javascript solutions and trying to mimick browser functionality within Flash, but have not seen or heard anybody doing a pure CSS/Actionscript version before.
No point is copyrighting it really, as anybody can do this as soon as they understand the thinking behind it. In any case any content is copyrighted by defautl anyway.
I'm happy as long as people email me so I can see it being used ^^
