Hi,

I'm using FFF Galaxy at 8pts in Flash MX. It looks fine on screen, but when I export as an swf, it appears ant-aliased?

How is this? Any ideas how to stoip this?

Do a search right here in the forums. There are thousands of posts on the subject.

Good luck.

make the text dynamic & turn off 'editing'

Put your text box in an exact pixel reference..

example: X= 10 px, Y = 10 px


Donīt put your text boxes in X or Y positions like 10,5 or 7,8

Thanks for your replies. Stupidly, I posted this, then searched and found the answer.

Placing the text box and it's parent clips (if used) at exact pixels works

I don't know, what is the problem.

I cheked your attached images (.jpg) and saw the fuzzy font, but in mi computer your .swf looks great, I m using and iBook with mac OS X, perhaps the problem is in the monitor settings of the computer that you are using. (maybe, I don't know...)

Why don't you ask here in the forums for more tests in different systems and monitor configurations?

In that way you could know if there is a big problem or just and isolated condition

I can't open your file as I don't have 2004 yet!

However, the fonts look fine to me!

Make sure that the textbox, movieclips and placeholder clips are positioned exact to a pixel eg.

x = 2.0 (not 2.2)
