where???  
But I think you mean  
_yourtextbox_ = “”;  
change _yourtextbox_ to the variable name of the textbox you want to clear!

I think he means how to make the text look crisp and clear like on billz site. If that’s the case then try using a font from this site.

Welcome to Kirupa pinx, you’re correct about the dynmaic text, it would definitely make the text clearer, but if the viewer does’t have that same font on their comp, then it wouldn’t show up.

You can also embed the font, but chances are that might or might not help depedning on the font you’re using so the best way I know is to use a font made for flash.
