Please excuse me if this is old news…
I’ve run into a bug where text (static or dynamic) is cut off when filters are applied.
For example, I can create a static text object on the stage with a common font (Arial) and put some text into it, and it displays just fine. I’m putting a tween on it to gently fade it in from invisible (alpha=0%) to full (alpha=100%) and back to invisible. At this point, the text looks just fine.:thumb2:
The trouble starts when I add a filter, like drop shadow for example. Once the filter is applied, the last character is cut off. For example, if the last word ends with an ‘e’, the ‘e’ character is lopped off vertically so only the left two thirds of the ‘e’ displays and the rightmost remaining third is not visible.:cantlook:
I’ve tried quite a bit of adjusting things to fix this… adding multiple extra spaces at the end, increasing the size of the text box, several different fonts… nothing works except taking the filter back off. ;(
This is on the Mac version of Flash, by the way.
Anyone have an idea of what’s going on, or what to try?:puzzled:
Thanks in advance.
