Another Question from me 😃

How does one remove AA via AS3 code?

For example, im using a fontsforflash font in a menu and i seen that you have

AntiAliasType.ADVANCED  
AntiAliasType.NORMAL

however, why is there no AntiAliasType.NONE ?

The reason im asking in a forum is because i did google this yesterday, and i found something on flashkit about how you cannot turn AA off at runtime, and recommended was to use bitmaps instead.

I refuse to believe this.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance
