preloading font problem 2004-03-04 - By Michael K?
Back
So if I am understadning you, the only way to make a prelaoder a font is to
included the font in main movie. Because I was assuming I could just include
it like you are saying in a seperat swf and load that into my main movie.
The thing is, I have several fonts to load and I would like the preloader
to show which font i being loading - but from what you are saying, that
doesnt seem possible?
Sorry to keep asking - but I have just seen it before and wondering how they
did it?
