This example I made doesnt work, any help please:

This is the main movie created in Flash:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("loadfont", _root.getNextHighestDept());

var mcLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader. {
  _root.createTextField("mytext", _root.getNextHighestDept(), 0, 0, 100, 100);
  _root.mytext.text = "hello world";

  var myStyle = new TextFormat();
  myStyle.font = "Fontname";
  _root.mytext.setTextFormat(myStyle); 
}
mcLoader.loadClip("BleedingCowboys.swf", loadfont);


This is the swf with font embedded (BleedingCowboys.swf) created with swfc:

.flash filename="BleedingCowboys.swf" bbox=1x1
    .font Fontname filename="BleedingCowboys.ttf"
.end


The text `hello world´ shows up (so the font is loaded) but not applied to the text.

So if i create a swfc movie:

  .font myfont "BleedingCowboys.ttf"

I can set a textfield created with actionscript in Flash outside the loaded movie and use the font with a textformatted font named myfont?

Are there any examples you could show, couldnt find any on google.

Sure. If the font has a name in the swfc script, you should be able to
"import assets" from that movie, using the name.
