Embedding fonts at runtime in Adobe AIR

Question

I'm trying to register fonts that are stored in an external SWF, and embed them at runtime into an Adobe AIR application. I'm currently using a File object to load the SWF, but am not sure how to register the fonts after that. Anyone has any ideas? Thanks!

Answer 1

This is the code I have. Basically I hit a button, a file open dialog comes up, and then I use a Loader to load the SWF. But how do I register the font after that? Is what I'm doing in fontLoaded() correct?
Thanks!
