</div>

is there a peice of actionscript which will control the smoothness or antialias of the text? we have:

Text = “page name”;  
letters = Text.split("");  
letterformat = new TextFormat();  
letterformat.font = “fonty”;  
letterformat.align = “center”;  
letterformat.color = “41898”;  
letterformat.size = “11”;  
spacing = 4;  
speed = 3;

is theree a line of actionscript that i can add in to make the text readable?
