Why is the text fuzzy on here even though I’m importing it?? I’m confus-ed. Additionally, any aesthetic ideas on how to improve the movie???

hahah well maybe this tutorial will help you out. Blurry text is a common problem with people around here, but don’t let it get to you. =) [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/usingtext.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/usingtext.htm) ---

But you see, that’s the problem. Much to your surprise, I’m sure, I’ve already read pretty much everything that has to do with un-aliasing text on this site. The text in this movie is imported, so (obviously) it’s already dynamic… Which is basically what the tutorial says to do to make text un-aliased. HOWEVER, even though this text is being taken from a separate source ([http://www.madpimp.com/grey/blog.html](http://www.madpimp.com/grey/blog.html) , i believe) it’s still blurry. It’s blurry regardless of where I get the text from. I read somewhere that I was supposed to put it on a round number x/y coordinate, and I tried that, but it’s still as blurry as hell. You should check my FLA files before you make assumptions! \>:T ---

Additionally, on the subject of pixel fonts… I don’t want pixel fonts… I want arial, \*\*\*\*it! ARIALLLLL. //end rant. ---

haha calm down there, don’t have a heart attack now. I went through your FLA and found the problem. You embeded the font so that’s why it’s blurry. You’re using arial as dynamic text so there’s no need to embed it. Here is your FLA with the corrections, enjoy. =) ---
