I know and have successfully tested embedding fonts in order to get the dynamically create textfields to rotate, but I'm using CSS to change the properties of the textfield. Is there a way to rotate a field without setting the textField.defaultTextFormat property, because that causes problems with textField.styleSheets = style;
anyway, right now the code is set up is to run the .swf without using style sheets. the code that assigns the CSS Data to the textfield object is commented.
CODE
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("binary.css");
var ld:URLLoader = new URLLoader(request);
var style:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
ld.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);
ld.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderCompleteHandler);

function errorHandler(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
    trace( "Couldn't load the style sheet file. " + e);
}

function loaderCompleteHandler(e:Event):void {
    style.parseCSS(ld.data);
    trace(style.styleNames);
}

var background:MovieClip = new background1();

containerOW.addChild(background);

by the way, this code sample is a portion of a much larger 1800 line program, so certainly this code will not be sufficient in itself. I
