I’ve placed a bitmap text (no anti-alias) inside a movieclip  
and it looks crisp and clean when exported to swf.  
Now I have dragged a copy of that movieclip on stage  
and it becomes blurry/fuzzy as soon as I export it to swf  
(the original is still clean/crisp)  
Why is this happening and how do I solve the problem?

Thx for listening/AquaStealth
