Dyanmic Anti-alised Text

[phorte]

Alrite, im having some major problems with this new text field in flash 8, with the whole anti-aliasing stuff. More trouble than is worth in my opinion, but alas, we cant have everything our way. Anyway to the point.

Ive got some text, and im using a pixel font, (think its called PixGothic7), and ive set the anit aliasing to Readability, cause well, i want to be able to read it.. :). Then im loading text into it, so ive put the font into the library, and embebeded the required glyphs, and it looks all good. Then i tried to right justify some text, and its majorly blurry. Whats goin on? its fine on left, center and full. But on right its looks shocking??

Any advice you can offer about all these new text features in Flash 8? and explain whats goin on.

Thanks

i dont have flash 8 but mabey make sure your width is set to an int so that it will align to the nearest pixel.

for pixel fonts you need to be sure that text is placed on stage in whole coordinates.
Right way:
120.0, 30.0

Wrong way
120.3, 30.5

You don't have to set anit aliasing to Readability. Make it custom aliasing and live it like it is or just choose device font.
