The following example shows how you can use an embedded font with the Flash ActionScript 3.0 TextInput control by setting the embedFonts and textFormat styles.

Full code after the jump.

// ActionScript 3.0
/* Requires:
* - TextInput component in Flash library
* - Embedded font with class name "MyEmbeddedFont" in Flash library
*/
import fl.controls.TextInput;

var embeddedFont:Font = new MyEmbeddedFont();

var textFmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
textFmt.color = 0xFF0000;
textFmt.font = embeddedFont.fontName;
textFmt.size = 18;

var textInput:TextInput = new TextInput();
textInput.text = new Date().toString();
textInput.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
textInput.setStyle("textFormat", textFmt);
textInput.width = 300;
textInput.move(10, 10);
addChild(textInput);
