Some effects require embedded fonts to function correctly. This section explains how to use embedded fonts with the component. It is also advisable to embed fonts that users may not have on their systems.
1. First set up the component by following steps in the basic tutorial.
2. Press Ctrl+L (Windows) or Cmnd+L (Mac) to open your library. Click the options button in the top right of the panel and select 'New Font...' from the list that appears. The 'Font Symbol Properties' panel will appear. Enter a name for your font and select the font to be used from the drop down list, then click OK.
3. In your library right-click (Windows) or Ctrl+click (Mac) on the new font symbol. Select 'Linkage...' from the options and the 'Linkage Properties' dialogue box will appear. Tick the 'Export for actionscript' checkbox, the 'Export in first frame' check box will tick itself, then enter a linkage identifier for your font, for example, 'myFont' (without the quotes).
4. Select your flashTooltip component on the stage and open the component inspector panel. Locate the 'Font Face' parameter and enter the linkage identifier you specified for your font in step 7 (myFont). Below the 'Font Face' parameter set the 'Use Embedded Font' parameter to true to instruct the component to use an embedded font.
5. If you now test your file you'll see your font being used by the flashTooltip and all effects will work correctly.
