this will be a problem in authoring but not in the finished .swf, which 

contains outlines for all fonts used. Just keep the same fonts on both 

machines when authoring and you'll be fine. If you cannot keep all used 

fonts on both machines, just don't change the font designation(s) when 

authoring on the second machine. When you re-open the.fla on the first 

machine, it should then revert to the originally designated font(s).
