Something which has worked for me, though strangely not consistently, is to highlight the text, then go to the property inspector, click the text tab and then choose copyink from the prerender option, and then click save bitmap. Unfortunately this has to be done separately for every text box that you have, but it still less time consuming than the only other alternative I know of, which is to create a bitmap file of your text in an art or photo editing program like Photoshop. Supposedly you can embed fonts, which can play on other systems, but I find this slows down my movie so much I can't use this function. But if you want to check out how to do this, just look up embedding fonts in the director help manual. Hope this helps.
