[LEFT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=adobe-clean]I am having an issue with a font animating in from 0% - 100% smoothly. This issue is caused by it being custom anti-aliased, the font (Helvetica Neue-Light) has a slight thickness applied which it has to for font legability reasons. Due to file size restrictions I can’t use a tween engine so can only use standard actionscript or tweening. I have tried both but neither works. I can’t bitmap the text neither as it loses it’s custom anti-aliasing.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][FONT=adobe-clean] [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][FONT=adobe-clean]Any advice on how to resolve this would be much appreciated.[/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT]
