I stumbled onto a unexpected problem with the dynamic text. As the topic title states, when I run the .swf file to see my work as a whole, the dynamic text does not have anti-aliasing and therefore the text looks somewhat “eye-downer”:

This is one of the dynamic text taken directly from the .swf file. I have set the text to use Anti-Alias for Readability, but as shown in the image, AA has not applied to the text. Each dynamic text also has a simple actionscript:

```auto

US.nationText.text = "United States";

```

Movie Clip instance.Instance of Text.text = “text”

and a class which simply applies Glow Filter tween onto it.

Thanks for reading.
