I am writing a large tutorial using flash. The background stage for text is grey (rgb = decimal 99 101 99). I noticed that my static text fields appear to have a background and or hash-pixelated fill that is quite annoying. It is worse for static text fields with a filter applied–their backgrounds are almost green over the grey…

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks again,
