Works fine for me! Can you explain or attach screen grabs of what happens when it doesn't work?

Whenever I connect to a DB using PHP and Flash I serialize the data when parsing into Flash. Then I don't get any problems with html tags or special characters '&' '$' etc.

There are some great serializing classes with tutorials out there, just google.

Having said that it might not be the cause of your problem. If there is a problem?

On some PCs the data just does not load............. its like blank. Like on my computer it works fine but my colleagues PC next to mine it shows blank space in place of the data. i have received similar complains from ppl viewing the website, one of my friends told me that they could see the data but diff font (not readable).

Now the first thought that came to my mind was diff browsers but that is not applicable on flash websites. What do you think can be causing such a problem.

How can i add screeshots there is not place for attachments. But as i told you before in place of the data there is nothing its blank, that is the only difference.

To add screenshots you zip a file and post it somewhere then add a link.

But don't worry about that because the problem is probably embedded fonts. This is one of the hardest things to get right in a Flash CMS. Can you give me a description of how you are dealing with the dynamic textfield fonts in Flash?

Are you embedding the fonts? Do you have the fonts shared in the library?

Dynamic text and fonts is a big deal in Flash 8, I'm still experimenting with all the aliasing features.
