Select device fonts
When you use a font installed on your system in a Flash document, Flash
embeds the font information in the Flash SWF file to ensure that the font
is displayed properly. In addition to embedding fonts, you can use the
device fonts option. This option finds the fonts on a viewer’s computer
that most closely resemble the specified device font. You can use device
fonts only with static text.
You’ll specify that the selected text uses device fonts.

way to create forms.

input text field to send data from Flash to a server. Now, you’ll add a text
