function onFontLoaded(e:Event):void {
var info:LoaderInfo = e.currentTarget as LoaderInfo;
var loader:Loader = info.content as Loader;

var embeddedFonts:Array = Font.enumerateFonts(false);
for (var i:Number = 0; i < embeddedFonts.length; i++) {
var item:Font = embeddedFonts[i];
trace("[" + i + "] name:" + item.fontName + ", style: " + item.fontStyle + ", type: " + item.fontType);

myTextField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
newFormat.font=embeddedFonts[0].fontName;
newFormat.size=26;
