Loading external fonts in AS3 projects can be really complicated, and there is not a lot of documentation online, except for a few blog posts for Flex.
This article explains in detail how to proceed to load external font files contained in precompiled swf files. The author even provides a FontManager class to easily manage the font registration once it’s loaded.

tf.htmlText = "<a href=\"event:my_custom_text\">This is an HTML link.</a>";
tf.addEventListener(TextEvent.LINK, tf_link_handler);
function tf_link_handler(event:TextEvent):void {
trace(event.text); // outputs : "my_custom_text"
}
There seems to be a bug with SWFAddress 2.2 and SWFObject 2.3 in Internet Explorer 7.
When using both libraries, the flashvars passed to the SWFObject don’t go through the swf movie. To overcome this you must revert to either SWFAddress 2.1 or SWFObject 2.2.
The issue has been reported to the SWFObject development team and will be rectified in the next release.
This Firefox extension shows the output of the Flash trace method directly in the browser.
