hello everyone,

Is there a way to display font in normal way ?  
it seems that FLASH always display fonts in a blurry  
kinda way. If I choose ‘use device font’ the fonts is  
not displayed when I use mask over them !!!  
( they just disappear, plus you can’t align-justify them)

I’m sorry if this seems to be a stupid question, I’m  
new on this FLASH thingie and I’ve tried almost every  
button there is in the menu bar and toolbar. ☹ ☹

…

ok maybe not EVERY Button (hehehe) but I tried  
everything I could think of in my limited knowledge 😛  
so any help will be very much appreciated here

thanks 🙂

Iammontoya, I believe the page you are talking about is  
[[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/blurredtext.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/blurredtext.asp) ]  
thit one ? I can’t find ‘Best Of Kirupa’ anywhere, but I found  
this page by using the search box. anyway it talks about  
Dynamic text and I tried it, and I have exactly the same  
problem, it won’t display under mask unless I embed them.  
and we all know embedding will make things blurry.

If you read the next thread, I think that guy is having the  
same problem. Is there really no other way to achieve a crisp  
text that is treated like normal static text ? like by using  
action scripting thingie, maybe ?

anyway thanks a lot for your help 🙂
