I read “If you additionally place a static textfield onto the stage with the same font, the text in the dynamic textfield isn’t shown anymore.” to mean you cannot have them on stage at the same time, on the same keyframe. It really means anywhere in the movie! And not just static textfields, don’t select the same font as the one you are embedding for any type field. If you have to place a dynamic text field on the stage manually instead of using AS to create, make sure to select a font that is not being embedded. Then in AS apply the style sheet.
For other things, like UI components, say the label on a radio button,
the work-around for I found is to use the transform method of the styleSheet and then the setStyle or setTextFormat method depending on where the text is (in a UI component or a textfield).

var style:Object = sheet.getStyle(“.myStyle”);//note the .
var cssFormat = sheet.transform(style);
myRadioButton.setStyle(“disabledTextFormat”, cssFormat);

are you sure you’ve correctly declared your styles in the css file?

This works great on formatting text within tags like <h1>, but it does not seem to work when using tags with a class parameter, like <p class="bodyText">

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Another tip, Flash Optimizer (http://www.flashoptimizer.com/) works really well with an embedded font, reducing its size by about 30%. This may make it worth the $99 price tag.

Hope this info helps someone!
