Flex error: Unable to transcode swf with embedded fonts

Today I wanted to create swf file in Flash CS5 with embedded fonts and then I wanted to use this file in Flex 4.

After writing the following code in Flex:

[Embed(source="./assets/fonts/fonts.swf", fontName="Minion Pro")]
private var minionProRegular:Class;


I saw this error:

Multiple markers at this line:
-Unable to transcode ./assets/fonts/fonts.swf.
-font 'Minion Pro' with normal weight and regular style not found

The reason of this error message were the text boxes contained within the swf file that contains embedded fonts.

Solution:
Remove visual objects from Flash CS5 file with embedded fonts.

UPDATE:
