Weird. Try and redo the file in a new swf. And why did you turn your text into graphics? pom :asian: ---

It is your font type. Font types that begin with an underscore “\_” won’t work for some reason. I see you are using the font “\_typewriter”. I change it to Arial and it worked fine. I also wonder why you encased your text in graphics. ---

## I had the same problem with the text font months ago. It was driving me grazy! But after a while I solved the problem myself… there is another problem with fonts in flash too ya know… I type something and it looks fine but when I test the movie then there is no hole in “O” for example. I mean like “O” is not “O” but a circle that ahs been filled. of course the same thing can be with “d” or “a” and so on… And if I break the the text into fills then it shows me the text like I see it when I test the movie—ugly! but thats only with some fonts and only with some letters… ---

The filling of O’s and things are usually on pixel fonts. It does it on pixel fonts that were designed for Photoshop not Flash. I think it is because Flash requires it to be on an exact pixel, but some of the fonts aren’t and this causes distortion.
