hey, i’ve noticed that on flash when i type, it makes the text all blurry… especially smaller sizes (9, 10 pt.), and it’s really pissing me off. on html it just types normally, but on flash it has to like bold it and screw it up. How do i make it just normal and sharp, not all messy?? grrrr… ---

Hey natalia, I wrote about your problem in the following tutorial: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/usingtext.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/usingtext.asp) Basically, most popular fonts at size 8 or 9 will not display at all. Those that do are blurred. What you can do, is place them in a text field…I explain how that is done in the tutorial. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reply back. Cheers! Kirupa :rambo: ---
