>>
>>createTextField("my_txt", 0, 0, 0, 200, 200);
>>var _fmt = new TextFormat();
>>_fmt.font = "cow";
>>_fmt.embedFonts = true;
>>my_txt.setNewTextFormat(_fmt);
>>my_txt.text = "Sup, I'm using the cow embedded font.";
>>
>>- however, the above will not allow preloading.  Uncheck export in first
>>frame, and place a text field using the font on frame 2 offstage.  On
>>frame
>>3, you can then use it as normal.  This assumes nothing else in your movie
>>is using export in first frame, and if MX 2004, your classes are exported
>>on
>>frame 2 or beyond, allowing your preloader to work.
