I recently started switching my project from Flex SDK 3.5 to 4.5.1, but my Label components aren't displaying anymore. I've determined that the problem is with my fonts; when I switch to the default font the text appears. I'm wondering, what exactly has changed in Flex SDK 4.5.1 for working with fonts?
original out-of-date question, here for reference:
Working in FDT, I have been using various components from the "fl" package under Flex SDK 3.5 by compiling them as a SWC as described in various places:
Flash Components with Flex SDK
http://www.actionscript-flash-guru.com/blog/14-flcontrols-not-found-how-do-i-import-the-fl-package
However, I just switched to the new SDK 4.5.1 and the labels aren't showing up. The code still compiles and runs fine, but no text is being displayed.
Does anyone know why a components SWC that was working before isn't anymore under the latest SDK, and how I should fix it? For example, do I need to recompile the SWC using the latest SDK somehow?
ADDITION: aha, I've figured out that the issue was with embedding fonts in the Label component; when I switch to the default font the text appears. I'm editing to the new question...
