Severity:	Non Functioning
Reproducibility:	Every Time
Discoverability:	Medium
Found in Version:	None
Milestone:	SDK Moxie RC0
Affected OS(s):	All OS Platforms
Steps to Reproduce:	« Hide Steps to reproduce: 1. Load formapp1.swf (compiled in Flex 3) and formapp2.swf (compiled in Flex 2.0.1) These should look identical with Comic Sans text in the TextInput. 2. Load the bugfile BootstrapLoaderApp.swf 3.View formApp 1 and formApp 2. Actual Results: The swf compiled in Flex 3 (formapp1.swf) shows the text in the TextInput, but, the ComicSans font is not applied. The swf compiled in Flex 2.0.1 (formapp2.swf) shows no text in the TextInput. Expected Results: The swfs loaded into the Bootstrap should look exactly like when you load them by themselves in the player (w/o a Bootstrap). Workaround (if any): Show » Steps to reproduce: 1.

In theory, nobody will use this embed syntax in the topologies we care about. First, use of the global selector won't work at all as the shell's global selector will win. Second, the odds that there is a collision between the shell's classes and the form's classes could be high, especially for TextInput, Button and Label. In 2.x if there is a collision, embedded fonts won't work. The only 'workaround' is to use the [Embed] mechanism for embedding fonts and calling Font.registerFont on those fonts. If you do that, the fonts show up.

Ok. This suggestion works. I am uploading a sample where formapp2.mxml embeds and registers the font.
