Installing a font into Flash

[dharmachic]

Hi all, I have a true type font I would like to use in flash. How do I install it into the program?

Thanks.....

You don't!
Any font you have installed in your Windows->Fonts' folder should be available in Flash.
Install your font in that folder!

It is in my Window font folder, but for some reason, I can't access it in Flash. Strange, huh?

 

[oldnewbie]

Did you just install it? And sure it's A TTF?
Do you have access to it in Word or another application?

worse comes to worse...
bring text you want into illustrator or something.. convert to outlines....
export > eps or ai
import to flash

OK, here's the update: I still cannot access the font from Flash, (it works everywhere else) so I created the text in Photoshop, saved it as an image file & then converted it into a symbol in Flash. This seems to work just fine...

Thanks everyone! :-{}

**I'm still wondering why the font isn't accesible from Flash though- the font is Bickley Script, a TTF**

Just downloaded the font! Installed it in the Windows' font folder!
Opened Flash! Bingo! Bickley Script available! No problemo!
