I don’t know why
in the portfolio section, when the text is loaded from a text file, it look okay…

you need to sit the textbox (and everything that contains the textbox) on whole pixels (e.g. X = 20, not 20.3). tbh, I’m surprised ‘blurry text’ didnt provide you with any results!

um… doesnt work? are you sure EVERYTHING is sitting on whole pixels? If the textbox is in a movie clip, the movie clip has to be on whole pixels, if THATS sitting in another clip THAT has to be on whole pixels… etc… EEEEEEEEEEEEEVERYTHING 😉

its working now, the solution…
move the text at 0.5, if the the text is on a whole pixel, it doesn’t work… lol

That’s probably because whatever object that is containing your text field on on a interger with .5 at the end.
