pixelfonts

[caspian]

Help! I don't know what else to try..........................I'm just making a simple news ticker where I have a strip of text motion tween from left to right. The pixel font (Teacher's Pet) is perfectly crisp everywhere in the movie, except that during the tween, it antialiases back in forth and goes back to clear when the tween is over.

I've set every movie clip and symbol in my movie to whole number increments, all symbols are left-justified, etc.

Since I'm tweening the _X coordinate, it's hitting up all the _X increments between my two keyframes, including the increments other than whole numbers (50.1, 50.2, 50.3, etc.), this is probably why the text gets blurry and clear again throughout the tween.

Does anyone know a solution to this? Does this mean it's impossible to tween pixelfonts and keep them clear throughout the tween?????

I dunno - maybe it is. Try using actionscript to move the text whole pixels: textBoxHolder._x += 10; then you can be sure it's an integer value

It worked and it's beautiful! (well as beautiful as a news ticker can be). It's so smooth..........................

Thank you, I'm not thinking like an Actionscripter yet............
