Hi, I know that masking dynamic text, means you have to embbed the font wich has anti-aliasing, so it appears blury, so as there is no way around this in flash there is only one option left - pixel fonts, right? (correct me if I am wrong). So in peoples experiance’s what is the best pixel font to use? Don’t mind purchasing, just need to get the right one!

I have to use a mask, because I have a list dynamically loaded in from a .txt file which is often changed!

Also just a thought! If my scrolling area is 100 x 50 pixels can i set a script to change any text appearing outside this to alpha 0% this would be a work around for a mask?

Cheers
