I know about the FFF and how they are pixel fonts. My question is, when I load a movie with FFF fonts into a different flash movie using the loadMovie command, they get all blurry. How can I make sure they will load in clear? I made the x and y coordinates of the movie clip I load my swf into integers. If i preview the swf I am loading, it looks good and crisp. When I see it loaded into another file, it is really really bad. Any advice greatly appreciated.

if its in dreamweaver make sure the flash is set to load at high quality that might be it… i myself was getting ticked at that recently as im still trying to get used to dreamweaver mx
It is still in flash though. I load in a movie which changes its dimensions and offsets it from an integer pixel value but I can’t figure out how to change it.
center it maybe
You can’t center FFF fonts. They only work if right aligned or left aligned. I think i fixed it just by changing it .1 pixel at a time until it looked good
Are you scaling the movie?
Nope. Both the MC I load it into as well as the swf are 100 percent scale.

What you mean by that?
Sorry, that was earlier. Now I changed the scaling so it’s at 100 percent. Originally I had it at like 110 percent or something which was messing it up a lot. It seems to work now when i set it at decimal values of .4. No idea why, but it is clear and sharp. I just left it alone because i didn’t want to waste more time on it
ok
That will make a difference. You didn’t say that in the other thread…If your movieClip isn’t a emptyMovieClip you are loading into, your movie will not be at the right proportions. Ergo - your text won’t fall on exact pixel anylonger unless you’re realllllly lucky.
[edit]I gotta learn how to type faster…:([/edit]
? Can you explain that again. I don’t have an empty movie clip, I have a temporary placeholder clip in my library. Should I make it an empty movie clip?
No, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to confuse the situation. It’s what you and Cladio were talking about while I was typing. The movieClip you are using is fine as long as it has the same dimensions of the movie you’re loading in - otherwize, flash will resize it automatically.
When I load in movies, I just hit Insert>NewSymbol>MovieClip give it a name, hit enter, then drag it out to the stage. That way you will only have a registration point and the external movie will load in at it’s own size.
See what I mean?
Ahh. Ok. That makes sense. Also can i change the registration point or no? It loads the top left corner of the swf into the middle of my placeholder.
As far as I know, no. I have just learned to move that point to where I want the top left hand corner to be.
Yeah I did that too. Ok thanks
