Thanks for your response Nigel..., but let me see if I have this straight.

If I export a FLASH file which uses several custom fonts that would
not be a default system font on a MAC or PC, the fonts will still
render correctly when they playback the movie on thier machine
regardless?

If this is true, then I am truely a happy man today.

My confusion is that in the FLASH help file, I read the following;

" Flash exports type to your final movie with all its system
information intact."

This is good but the following sentence seems to contradict what they
just said;

"...your audience must have the type's font installed for it
to display properly, even on the same platform. "
