Hi guys. I’ve created some animated text in swift v2. In swift and flash, it looks fine but when I use flash to publish it to my website through, a jaggedy white border is around each and every letter. Normally, I wouldn’t mind it if my text was going to go on a white background but it’s actually going onto a blue background. Here’s the link to my page: [http://208.20.14.9/index.asp](http://208.20.14.9/index.asp) It’s the “Optus Software” on top. Any idea why it may be doing this? Thanks in advance. -Goalie35 ---

Maybe cause it´s a gif. Try an swf file for that animation. I think your gif quality is not good enough. Maybe there aren´´t enough colors. Try increasing the color amount but that would increase the file size. I think swf file and make it transparent. Maybe that´ll fix it. ---

I think its because you tried to give the gif a transparent background. - Soul :goatee:
