Hey Kirupians!!!
I’m trying to jazz up some of the text on the site I’m developing and I have encountered a strange side-effect from using filters on text. Basically, I have got a couple of dynamic text fields, each in it’s own MovieClip. With no filters applied the text displays fine however… when I add a Glow or DropShadow filter for instance (at design time), the bottom few pixels gets chopped off the text. This occurs when the filter is applied to either the text field or the MovieClip and I have tried to resize the text field and it seems to make no difference. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? I suspect that it may be the font (it is a custom font used by my University)… can anyone please suggest any way round this problem other than using a different font?
Cheers for now,
Andy McDee
