I have a movie with some dynamic text, which is embedded and has aliasing turned on -- it is crisp. This text field is behind a mask that I created using setMask so the text appears. The problem happens when I publish my movie as player version 6. When I do this, the text looks as if the field was on an odd pixel, for example x = 60.4. But it's not.
View 8 RepliesI'm wondering whether it's possible to generate alias text in dynamic textfields, similar to setting text to "Bitmap text" when doing so manually. If so how would it be coded? I don't see any TextFormat properties that allow for such a thing.
View 1 Replieswhen adding a mask to a parent sprite with a dynamic text field, the text loses anti-aliasing. how can i maintain the text's anti-alias while still applying a mask to its parent, and subsequently to itself.the font is embedded, and the text field will be animated so it must also be masked along with its parent.
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.text.*;

I wonder if it is possible at all to anti-alias text fields with the HTML property set to true.
Currently I already have an operation HTML text field with embedded font which loads an external CSS for styling.
If we place a dynamic text box on the stage manually, we can set the anti-alias for readability, for animation, use device fonts, etc. How can these attributes be added to a text box dynamically created with code?I looked up anti alias in help and there appears to just be normal and advanced options?

I created the textfield through actionscript instead of placing a textfield on stage.
Code:
var myTextField:TextField = new TextField();
myTextField.text = "Hello World"
addChild(myTextField);
How can i use a bitmap text (no anti-alias at all), i can't find that option , the same option that exists in the classic text field.
View 1 RepliesI'm working with swf's generated by InDesign CS5, which will apparently only export text as staticText objects. Is it possible to alter the anti-alias of staticText? I want to make it for readability, but it defaults to animation with no apparent way of changing it. I recently got help for textFields, but I can't seem to get it to work on staticText.
View 2 RepliesBut now in Flash CS5 the new font embedding window is changed, and there is no Bitmap text checkbox, so how am I to create dynamic Text Fields with ActionScript, and embed the fonts in them using Bitmap text [no anti-alias]?
View 4 RepliesI am having a problem with the anti-alias that is applied to my text.I am using a sans-serif narrow font and this problem appears based on the color that I set to the text.From 000000 to c8c8c8, the font is displayed properly. From c9c9c9 to ffffff, the font is displayed with what I think is a lot of anti-alias, so much that it looks like it is bold.I have tested a different font and this is not happening with other fonts.
View 3 RepliesWhat's the correct settings or if it makes a big difference I just want a crisp clean font with no anti-alias If I use any thing other than "Use device fonts" they look blurry and badhowever if I "use device fonts" does the user need to have the fonts installed?

I am using Flash CS3 with ActionScript 2.0. I am trying to load a jpg in and display it in an existing movieClip. I have created a movieClip on the stage with an instance name of maskMovieClip. I then create a new/empty clip within maskMovieClip, and then load the new clip with the jpg and then try to use the setMask to switch them. I did read that it won't work if jpg's have not finished loading, so I put a for/next loop in my example just to make sure the clips are loaded.
Here is my test code:
//How to reproduce problem...
//Create one movie clip on the stage with an instance name of maskMovieClip.
//Create two small jpg pics called pic1.jpg and pic2.jpg.
//This correctly loads and displays a jpg into maskMovieClip
maskMovieClip.loadMovie("pic1.jpg", 1);

I've got a movieclip of a rectangle in my library which I place on stage to attachMovie. Then I create an empty movieclip which I want to use as a mask on that rectangle clip through setMask. Users kan draw into that empty movieclip. My intention is that only those areas of the rectangle clip become visible where the user is drawing a line. So I used this:

Got a movieclip masked by another one with onLoadInit and setMask. Everything works correctly on local but when I use the same swfs hosted on my "server" the mask simply doesn't work, losts its function and shows over the other movieclip as a box.
View 2 RepliesI am using the following code to generate a television unit that will load in various SWF files and obviously, I want to mask the viewing area of the television ONLY. The SWF is loaded on level 4, while the panel and buttons appear on lower levels. Problem is when I attach a mask from the library to the movieclip containing the SWF, nothing happens.
Here is my code...whats wrong with my final section (MASK)?

It doesn't matter whether I tick the cacheAsBitmap property in the properties panel or I set it to true with AS for both the mask and masked mc's. I even tried with both, ticking and AS at the same time, but as long as my masks are inside the header mc, they're not working.
I've tried to be very descriptive on title, cause i have found around loads of "setmask does not work on dynamicly created mcs'. My case quite differs. =x
I've got 2 mcs, one holds an gradient and the other is the loader. The image is loaded using the loadmovieclip class.
First I've tried to set the code in the mc that holds both. Failed. Also tried setting on parents, and onLoadInit. All failed.
Ps: Surelly I've done double testing for each time I've tried. Firstly I would try placin an image inside the loader mc, to be sure the code was working without the load, and only then check with loading.
I am trying to use apply setMask to a movieclip which loaded external jpg's.
The set mask doesnt work and returns the following error:
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
SecurityDomain 'domain@demoImageName.jpg'
tried to access incompatible context 'file:///C|/DOCUME%7E1/jay/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/Untitled%2D1.swf'
I've attached two files that are exactly the same except in Mask_symbol.fla I copied the frames from the _root and put them in a symbol.When you open the files you'll see the mask on the _root gets applied at runtime like it should but once you take the exact same frames and put them inside a symbol it no longer works.
