preloading font problem 2004-03-04 - By Jesse Warden
Back
Nothing wrong with clarity; more questions the better.
I just tried a quick test utilizing a shared library, and it didn't work...
At least with dynamic text. I cannot test utilizing authortime because I
have the font installed. At any rate, as soon as I put the font in the main
movie, she was good.
I'm not sure where you saw preloading of fonts, but you can preload a font,
just put it on a frame other than frame 1, and uncheck export in first
frame.

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?
