I’m gettting the very old bitmap blurring or shifting problem. I’ve covered all the bases and it still won’t display correctly.

This doesn’t happen so much when I publish in V7, but mostly happens when I publish in V6. (see images below)

BTW, the reason I’m using bitmap text (imported GIFs) is because the size is a lot smaller than embedding the font or using vector outlines. I also NEED to publish in V6 for the widest compatibility.

**I’ve:**

- Made sure the images are on exact pixel coordinates (12.0)
- Made sure all movieclips that the images exist in are on exact corrdinates
- Tried fading from 1% to 99% instead of 0-100
- Tried doing “break apart” on the image (inside a graphic symbol)
- Quality is set to “best”
- The problem happens even when I place this on the main timeline at coordinates 0,0, so I know the positioning isn’t the issue.
