How come when you make a button in flash, and you roll over it . the font seems to move some. It doesnt accually MOVE but it looks like a few pixels get bumped around. Its the wierdest thing. Does anyone have any idea what im talking about?

Umm, not really sure I know what your talking about.

I have never had a problem with my text on buttons.

Pezz453, are your text symbols? If they’re not, convert them to graphic symbols and turn down the alpha on them to 97%. That’s how I get things to stop moving around, hope it works for you too. =)

I have had that problem with imported images, but never text :-\

Guess I should be grateful then =) 😉
