I created a scroll bar system that uses inertia to slow down the up and down scroll. It works perfectly fine with images and text. However, when I select the dynamic text opion and test my movie, no text shows up. The regular static text is too blurry to read. What should I do?
If your dynamic text is behind a mask, then you need to embed the font outline of the text, which makes it look as though it were set to static text.
Try and find a clearer font I supposed.
Erm… wait, this was for Flash 5, I don’t know if you can embed font outlines in Flash 5… never used it. Sorry, but maybe something I said helped a bit…lol.
yeah I tried that also. In flash 5, there’s an option that lets you “embedd fonts”. This option didn’t make my text an clearer. ANd yes, I need to mask dynamic text somehow. I’m using pixel fonts too! I’m so frustrated right now you have no idea.
Well pixel fonts can be a complete pain.
Are you sure the textboxes are on exact pixels? It is the only way pixel fonts are effective.
You have to make sure the X and Y coords are not decimals.
Also some pixel fonts are for Photoshop and some are for Flash. THe difference is that Photoshop pixel fonts can look like pixel fonts, but not be on exact pixels, while Flash fonts are on exact pixels and that is why they are crisp, even when embedded.
But again… pixel fonts can be a pain.
You are my savior! no one told me about the decimal place thing! that was it! thank you so much! now I can keep my remaining hair. :moustache
LOL, no problemo. Now you know for future reference 
grr, ok. Now I have another problem. I tried it with this new method with different fonts and they are still blurry. THe pixel font isn’t, but i dont really like the way it looks. Do you know where I can get some fonts that look like Times? thanks again
Hmmm, not sure about times (and times is a horrible font for a site BTW), but here are some Flash font sites I know of you can check…
www.fontsforflash.com
www.miniml.com
http://www.orgdot.com/aliasfonts/
the pixel-aliasing problem seems to be one of the first things I
look at on a site any more, because so many people [myself
included in the beginning] hadn’t heard of that either.
It’s now 2nd nature to adjust my fonts everytime I create a box
now. You will too, now that you know.
