Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new Flex App.
2. Add SWFLoader component with source = one of sample files.
3. add loadForCompatiblity="true" to tag.
4. Run app.

Actual Results: Runtime error:
ArgumentError: Error #1508: The value specified for argument font is invalid.
at flash.text::Font$/registerFont()
at txt3_fla::MainTimeline()

Expected Results: no error, swf loads.

This is an issue because Catalyst needs to load SWFs with that attribute. It's pretty serious for us, since TLF fonts are the default for Flash CS5.
