Picker Text Garbled

hi. i have no idea what changed or how this happened. i've been using a customized picker in my app for months now. somehow, for a reason i can't comprehend, the text in my picker is now garbled. all the text is changed. for example, the word "Kitchen Ringer 3" is now "iceniner3".

i have this picker in an external swf that is called by the main swf. if i double click the swf with the picker, on my desktop, it displays normally. but when its loaded into the main swf, its garbled!

?!

thanks.

Re: Picker Text Garbled

What version of the OS are you using?
Does it look fine as an AIR app?

Re: Picker Text Garbled

i used this post to help me skin my picker:

It turns out that my picker text is garbled when i use the CustomPickerListCellRendeder.as as described. More specifically, if I add:

this.label.embedFonts=true;

then my text will be gibberish (except for any numbers). So now I am unable to use a custom font for my picker. Bummer!
