[Extendflash] font files

[Psyche]

Yop,

I had an idea, wich is a mix of all we said. A reference file, and when 
JSFL found a new font that isn't referenced in this file, it asks you 
what font files does it have to link to this font. Then it copies the 
font files ^^, and by the way, creates a new jsfl file that will update 
other systems with those new font references.

So, we do not have to reference all the 1000 existing fonts... we just 
have to teach jsfl what font is linked to, only when needed ;)

-------

But, i have an other idea (which would be really easier). All fonts name 
and their corresponding files are recorded in the registery > 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Fonts    
(and, don't know why it is in Windows NT while i'm running on XP...)

My question is : Is it possible to access registery via Flash (maybe all 
registery informations are stocked into files, i don't know...) ??
This way, we could read the registery and get font files ;)

Tanks ^^
