Im having trouble getting my pixel fonts to work in Flash. They appear, however, they tend to get blurry. Visit [www.dougseidman.com](http://www.dougseidman.com) to view the fonts on the bottom left in the scroll bar to see what I mean. Does anyone know how to make them sharper? Also, has anyone ever had any problems with viewing their Flash movie? It takes about a half hour to view the SWF file, and my file is very small. I am also working on a very fast computer. It has been very frustrating. If anyone knows how to fix these problems, that wold be great! Thank you.

Doug

If you’re using Flash 8, make sure you’ve set the mode to “Bitmap text (no anti-alias)”, and that you’ve embedded a character set (the button next to the cbo).
