Q: 

In Flash CS3 fonts work in workspace, but in exported SWF they do not show up

I have an fla, and I'm using a font that works and looks fine in the workspace. And it is just static text. However when I export the swf and play the swf, the fonts do not appear at all. And I'm playing the swf on a laptop that has the font installed.

Anyone have any ideas?

A: 

check that the text field is definitely a "static" TextField. Static text fields always embed the characters of the font that they need. You should only have font problems if it is a dynamic or input text field.

thats the problem. It is definitely static. In fact when I make it dynamic and embed it automatically it works fine, yet as soon as i change it back to static the font doesn't show up at all, and it just defaults to the default font.
