HIya Mr. C,


THanks for the feedback as usual. I think IM a little confused on how FLash

handles fonts. If the user doesnt have the font(In most cases they wont),

then Flash turns the fonts into symbols. How does this work if the swf file has

already been exported and has establised size? If the viewer has the font then

the size wouldnt be as large since Flash doesnt have to recognise the font used

as a symbol, right? But how is this when the file size is already determined upon a

export of swf?


Understand my question?


Also the columns holding text are one single paragraph.
