Actionscript/Flex Font Library

In search of a method to embed fonts into an Actionscript project I came across many posts out there touting the ability to embed fonts into an Library or SWC and use them across multiple projects. After many attempts using the various methods I wasn't pleased and couldn't get things to work. So in an all out effort I combined them all and suddenly everything worked

1. Within Flex first create the Flex Library Project - I have called this FontLib
2. Create folders within the project called assets/fonts as a place to store the fonts you want to embed
3. Create a file within the main src package - I have called this Fonts.as
4. Within this file I have put the code:
   
   Fonts.as

   package 
   {	
   	import mx.core.FontAsset;
    
   	public final class Fonts
   	{

    		//repeat this block for each font renaming the font each time
   		public static var fontLib:Array = new Array;
   		[Embed(source="../assets/fonts/testFont.ttf",

   			fontName="testFont",

   			mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
   		private static var TestTTF  : Class;

    		//assign the font a public static attribute
   		public static var testFont:FontAsset = new TestTTF();
   		//append the font to the fontLib list
   		fontLib.push(testFont);
   	}
   }

5. Let that build

var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat(Fonts.testFont.fontName,22,0x000000);
