Anyone have the answer?

Here's the site: http://www.capemaybeachproperties.com

Here's the problem:

You enter the site, you click on "About Brian" - boom - text loads from an outside text file into the text box. The text is blurry... so blurry in fact, that I had to use Arial instead of my choice font so it can be read.

Note: The text box was placed at 0,0 in the movie clip, the movieclip was place on a whole number on the stage....Am I missing something? You'll notice the rest of the text looks fine, but the loaded text.....(very sad)

PLEASE HELP THE CHILDREN WITH A REPLY:confused:

First, make sure when its scaled u have whole points. No 11.4 or something like that. Antialiassing is also responible for blurring. And some more, don't remember. Check the macromedia site :

There's a tech sheet about dynamic text and crispness !

i go there alot and have gotten very successful at using their search engine, took about 5 clicks to find that article.

isn't it ironic that macromedia makes all these great tools for makeing great sites and then hides their fricking site behind frames so you cant send a link to a specific page on their fricking site.

well, actually a do have a habit of remembering where i find things.
