AS3 Barcode Clock

I am continually finding things to experiment with. Its almost as if I really don't want to complete any games on my own...
I know that isn't true, but sometimes it feels like it and that makes me a bit sad. Of course, I then look at what I've accomplished and I'm usually feeling ok again. This time, it was a barcode clock that was written in javascript that I found and wanted to do over in flash.Barcode Art by Scott Blake (external link)
For those who just want the source/and or demo, here it is. Clock.zip (31.15 Kb)
Otherwise, I started by taking the images from Scott's site and vectorizing them. However, I couldn't find a font I liked so I kept the numbers and A/PM as images. Then I created a small class for the digits, and a small class for the Prefix/Suffix. Wrapping it into a driver was almost trivial.

Flash player not available.

If anyone knows what font that is, I'd be grateful. I'd love to replace the bitmaps with an actual vector font.
