is there any way to get fonts to look as sharp as they do in static pages, now i know some 1 is ganna say to get flash fonts or those pixel based fonts but im talking about corporate regualr fonts like verdana or arial or helvetica.

Make sure they are on absolute pixel locations. In the info pannel u will see an x and y positon of your text. Make sure the numbers don’t have decimal points other then 0.

ex:  
535.4 = bad  
535.0 = good

Round up or down and it should help a bit. But usaly when u try the regualr machine fonts in flash any thing smaller then 12 or 10 point will blur a bit. Flashs anitasaling just plane sucs.
