    I didn't know where else to post this, so hopefully someone has an idea here.

    I have a large flash site, that has been in development since flash 5. Everything has been migrated to flash MX AS 1.0 and was working fine. Until we redid some of the architecture to slim down the number of files. Now everything works fine when it is viewed from a mac, but on windows the shared fonts do not load on every machine. Certain machines will work fine, others will not. I have no idea what the problem could be other than maybe its a conflict with an older flash player? Any insight would be appreciated.

    Looks like it is a flash player 7 conflict. If I install flashplayer 7 on the mac i get the same problem.

    Ok, if i try and view the above site with flashplayer 7 installed on either windows or mac, and click the "all chemicals", "All locations" or any of the other buttons across the bottom of the screen the text in the window on the right hand side doesn't display. If I disable the embedded fonts in my actionscript they display. If I install flash player 8, they display. All of my swf's for this site have been exported as flash player 6.0 and actionscript 1.0.

    This is really frustrating, I haven't been able to find any similar problems anywhere.

    The above URL is with the embedded fonts removed, so I can at least have something working for the client. ALL I changed on it was setting the dynamically created text fields to not embed fonts, everything else is the same.
