    inserting a font and making it a flash object?

    I need some help with a dynamic Flash Photo Gallery site i am editing to fit my needs.

    The site works in flash, but is dynamically controller via text files (xml) and such, from the fonts, sizes/colors, to the pictures being displayed.

    The fonts on the site are controlled through what seems to be this:

    Seems to be some sort of flash-based font library...
    I need help importing a Font file into that format and editing the xml shown, in order to use the font on the site?

    I have Flash CS3. What else should i know about when trying to do this? Can anyone please help guide me through this process?

    Found this after searching around a bit:
    How to manage (change and load) fonts

    Looks like you'll need to create a new .swf file for every font you want to use, name it, throw it into the same folder and then edit the xml file using the same parameters the other use (i.e., <font name="font_name" url="font_name.swf" />).

    Hope that helps. I've been learning ActionScript 3.0 for the past 3 or 4 months so I'm more than happy to help figure things like this out.
    The Grande-est of them all!
