non antialiased text is antialiasing when a script happens.... dont want it to do tht

[ChrisCub_MWF]

I have a submenu that is scrollable and when u roll into the area that checks the x and y coordinates it makes the text antialiased when I dont want it to be anti aliased. The font is Arial nothing fancy.

The link is here: http://www.mywayflash.com/xfer/index.html

The FLA working file is http://www.mywayflash.com/xfer/gildemeister.fla

To see it happen again just hit f5 and refresh the flash to get it back to the way i want it to stay when u rollover.

I unchecked the A in the properties box which makes it look clean at the start... until u roll into the defined area and then it freaks out.

Does anyone know how to remedy this?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

I think people use pixelfonts for that.

But why does it stay fine at first.. until the code happens? I dont understand that... It is rendering it right but when actionscript takes effect when u move ur cursor in the designated area it.. distorts it basically.

I dont get it....

Flash seems to have automic anti aliasing. My guess would be that before the code is used, Flash sees no need to anti alias. From the moment the code is executed, Flash seems to 'think' anti aliasing would be preferable. I don't really know the inner workings of that. Here's what macromedia has to say about it :

Figured out a way around it... For those wondering.. I made the fields dynamic text field and deselected "selectable". Then i made the text a movie clip, made the mask a movie clip, and put a setMask frame action and it worked.

yay~

At least there was a loophole to get around flash's auto anti alias schtuff ;) thx guys for helping tho.

nevermind. Solved 1 problem only to create another. The loophole I did works when I run it in an individual swf.. but when I load that same swf on a layer with other swfs it decides to stop showing the text.

Gotta love it.. Now tryin to figure out how to make the text show up...

You can by embedding the font ... but according to the article I posted it will result in the text being anti aliased ... :rolleyes:
