External Font Embed

Question

I am experimenting on embedding external fonts. I found this example on the web http://marumushi.com/news/embedding-fonts-in-as3 but it does not work for me. Anyone tried it? I just changed "somefont" to a font that exists on my system like AGENCYB.TTF:
[Embed(source="C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\AGENCYB.TTF", fontFamily="foo")]
But it generates errors:
unable to resolve 'C:WINDOWSFontsagencyb.ttf' for transcoding
Unable to transcode C:WINDOWSFontsagencyb.ttf.
Is there something wrong with the example in that link? And why is there an unused variable "bar"?

Answer 1

dont now the the use of bar variable
Here's the code which worked for me..
package
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.text.TextField;
    import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
    import flash.text.TextFormat;
    import flash.text.AntiAliasType;
    import flash.display.Stage;
    public class EmbedText extends Sprite
        [Embed(source="Fonts/Walkway Black.TTF", fontFamily="Walkway Black", fontStyle = "Regular", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
        //public var WalkwayBlack_Font:Class;
        var tf:TextField;
        public function EmbedText()
            Add_Text(30, 0x000000, 400,  20, 20);
        public function Add_Text(_size:int, _color:uint, _TextWidth:int, Xpos:int, Ypos:int):void
            tf = new TextField();
            tf.embedFonts = true;
            tf.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
            tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
            tf.multiline = true;
            tf.selectable = false;
            tf.wordWrap = true;
            tf.width = _TextWidth;
            var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
            format.font = "Walkway Black";
            format.color = _color;
            format.size = _size;
            format.letterSpacing = 2; // spacing between each character
            format.leading = 10; // distance between each lines
            tf.defaultTextFormat = format;
            tf.text = "Hello World! This font is Walkway Black which is not in this fla but is in the local folder(Fonts) it searches for the font runtime";
            addChild(tf);
            tf.x = Xpos;
            tf.y = Ypos;
