Embedding Fonts

If you noobs are wondering how to embed fonts into your SWF using code, then below is an example on how to achieve it.

Here, I have a FontManager class that contains the fonts I want to include in my SWF.

package {

  public class FontManager {
   
 [Embed(systemFont='Arial', fontName="Arial", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]

 public static const FONT_ARIAL:String;

 [Embed(systemFont='Verdana',fontName="Verdana",mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]

 public static const FONT_VERDANA:String;

 [Embed(source='/fonts/NEWB.TTF', fontName="Newb", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]

 public static const FONT_NEWB:String; 

 [Embed(source="C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\SEXY_TIME.ttf", fontName="SexyTime", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]

 public static const FONT_SEXY_TIME:String;

 }

}

package {

  public class EmbedFontExample {

    public function EmbedFontExample() : void {

      var font1:String = FontManager.FONT_SEXY_TIME;

    }

  }

}

There you have it.  Now you know how to embed fonts.
