Flash CS5 introduces a new way of emebdding fonts and unfortunately it breaks the older way of embedding fonts :( . The older way of embedding fonts which can be found here , does not work anymore for Flash IDE projects though that will still work for pure AS3 projects. I was using this method only in my project but as soon as I upgraded to flash CS5, text disappeared in my compiled movie. Googling pointed me to these two:

  1. Characters missing from text in Flash CS4 file when opened in Flash CS5
  2. Flash CS5 font embedding – it’s totally different
