I am totally out of clue why I am still getting jagged/pixelate text on the animation.

After reading all documentation/tutorials, I still couldnt find where the problem lies…

I am adding through xml, the text dynamically. (having like 500+ different text). everyting is animating, all texts are appearing… its Just that all are Jagged/pixelate when they are animating (to the front, scaleX , scaleY)… they suppose to look vector like…

i made sure I export the font in my library. tracing result are showing correct fontname/type. yet remains to me a mystery what is wrong…

Any expert out there that can solve this… that would really make my day.  
Have already been trying for 3 days now \>\< sniff!

thanks!

myText.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

myText.text=String(textArray[t]);//trace(String(textArray[t]));

myText.setTextFormat(textFormat);
