Converting to button = bad text

1

Hi,

I’m trying to create a button with static text on top of it. The text is perfectly clear, perfectly positioned, fff text. However, after I convert the text and a rectangle upon which it sits into a button the text goes a bit fuzzy. Does anyone know why? More importantly, does anyone know how to fix this?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Inside the button symbol, make sure everything (the rectangle, etc…) is on whole pixel coords. Then make sure the button itself is in whole pixels.

Maybe if you post your button it should be more easy to see hwat the problem is…so can you please upload your button:)

You might wanna make the text dynamic + multiline + unselectable. This way its clear. Make the text small such as size 8/10/12. I got this from the kirupa legible text tutorial.

Well, I tried all your suggestions but I couldn’t get clear text.

Here is the fla if this helps make my problem more clear.

It IS clear. It only looks crappy because your text size is set to 8. Set it to 12 and you’ll see that’s it perfectly sharp and clean :slight_smile:

Setting the font to twelve doesn’t improve the clarity. Not to mention, this is a “font for flash” and designed for size 8, at least I think.

Any other suggestions?

Woops, sorry. I made a mistake, never mind my post.

I don´t have the font you are using. Could you upload the font yoi are using in your button or the name of it so I can search and download it to see how it works in your button?:q:

don’t worry about it…

here’s a hint, when aligning text to be pixel perfect, start by having the text in the the textbox left aligned, so that your x and y coordinates for the text box also match those of the text…
d’oh

thanx all…
