AS3 – Loading CSS and Fonts
Working with CSS and fonts in Flash (especially with dynamic text) can be a huge pain. I have come up with a way that makes it a lot easier. What I do is load them up, store a reference to the css file in a global class, and simply refer to that class when you need to use the fonts and css. The css styles dictate which fonts are used where within your application.
This method seems to work out well and saves on file size as you are referring to an instance of the font instead of instantiating it over and over again etc. (You will need the FontLoader class in order for this to work.)
