Okay I’m using the Silkscreen font @ 8 px. The text is sitting on even numbers. The text does not move or scale in any way. The button under it animates. and the button and text are in a movie clip. I want the text to stay crisp, but when the button animates, it seems anti-aliasing is enabled on the text and stays like that.

I think this is because the text is nested inside a movie clip. Is there something I’m doing wrong or is there a way to keep the text crisp with no anti-aliasing no matter if its nested or on the root stage?

Any help will be appreciated.
