Flash Pro - AS3 embeded font not Showing up on Button Label in iOS

So I have an annoying issue that I can't solve. I am creating an app in Flash Pro/AS3 for iOS. I have a button whose label font I want to change:

var ButtonTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Showcard Gothic", 120);
//ButtonTextFormat.size         = 120;
//ButtonTextFormat.font         = "Showcard Gothic";
//ButtonTextFormat.embedFonts           = true;
ButtonTextFormat.color          = 0x00FF00;
//ButtonTextFormat.embedFonts = true;
SMButton.label                  = "PUSHME!";
SMButton.setStyle("textFormat", ButtonTextFormat);

I just used the standard button found in the Components Toolbox in Flash. It displays correctly during debug, but once loaded into the iPhone, the label is changed to a default font.

I did embed the desired font through Text>Font Embedding... and it works for a text field that I have, but why not the button label?

I've tried ButtonTextFormat.embedFonts = true; but I get an error:

1119: Access of possibly undefined property embedFonts through a reference with static type flash.text:TextFormat.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Solution

  • embedFonts property is for TextField class, not for TextFormat class.
