Blurred Text when imported into main swf

SkyNarc · 10-29-2005, 03:08 PM

Hi,

I've published a a swf file used for advertising in a website.
This SWF file is then imported into the main swf file. But as soon as it does that text looks teribly blurred...

Is there a reason for this?
I have tried changing the text to all its formats but have had no luck.

Cheers!

What do you mean by "imported"? Did you use loadMovie to load it into your main movie? Loading it in a empty container movie clip?

Hi OldNewbie,

Yes, i mean it's an external swf file being loaded into a loader in my Main swf.
Have a look at this to see what I mean...

When the site first loads up, there's a short blurred on the Small Wall.

Thanks

SkyNarc,

If you're using Flash8, you can set the anti-aliasing on that text box to "None" which would get rid of that blurring effect.

If you're not using Flash8, make sure the text box's x and y coordinates are whole pixels (ie 350, 491, etc). Also, every container that the text box resides inside of should also be on whole pixels.

This was a very common problem pre-Flash8.

What font are you using on that textfield? A standard one?

It looked like Verdana to me, which should work fine with no anti-aliasing.
