RE: FLASH: font symbols in library

[Damien Morton]

These tutorials are fine.


The problem is that the font symbols dont do what I want :)


"Font symbols are fonts that reside in a shared library"


This is fine for Flash 5 SWFs, but for Flash 4 SWFs its no good, because

Flash 4 SWFs dont support shared libraries.


I was hoping that a font symbol would also function in-place in a library,

so that we can share FLAs amongst programmers (on PCs) and artists (on Macs)

without a whole rigmarole of trying to make sure they all have the same

fonts on their systems.


Id addition, I think the shared library feature does not work with

generator.


Sigh. Thwack. ( <-- sound of head on desk )
