I have a Flash CS3 movie (AS2) wich uses pixel fonts. The text is within a movie clip that uses the tween class to move with ease. Whe I publish it, everything OK, the text looks very crispy. But I want this movie to be centered in the browser window so I've used the tags <center> </center> in the html file as you can see below. When you play the movie it plays in the center but... with IE8 the text is blurred if the browser window is maximize, but crispy if you minimize the window! With other browsers it works well with all windows sizes, IE7, Firefox, Safari...

I recently started using FF_Hero on a project but I noticed that the bottom 3 pixels are not displaying effecting g,y,q. It has nothing to do with the text box size. Non pixel fonts work fine...is there a work around?
I know there is an issue with Pixel fonts that you have to set their sizes in whole numbers but here i am not using pixel fonts. I am using normal fonts like Tahoma or Arial and when I publish my flash file it looks blurry or kinda broken. It doesn't show as crispy as in photoshop. Do I need to do something like break apart the font or anything else.
I am looking for a fairly simple image comparison method in AS3. I have taken an image from a web cam (with no subject) passed it in to bitmap data, then a second image is taken (this time with a subject) to compare this data, from these two images I would like to create a mask from the pixels that match on both bitmaps. I have been scratching my head for a while, and I am not really making any progress. Could any one point me in the right direction for pixel comparison method, something like getPixel32()
my web site has a lots of text field. it is xml based site.it is locally run perfectly but after i upload it to my server it's text fields' fonts replace to default fonts.some text gone down.so its confused to me.i used Myridpro font.now it is replace to default font .can u tell what is the solution for that..?

I've recently began using Flash, and came across an error which I'm afraid I've yet to resolve.While animating some text with the use of masks, it becomes blurred, like this: URL..As you can see, the first text - videos - has no problems, while the second text appears blurred. In the animation, the same happens.
I am trying to saturate a flash animation from left to right with a blurred wipe. I am attempting to do this by creating duplicate movie clips, with one of the movie clips having a filter to completely desaturate the color. I am hiding the saturated movie clip with a mask (basic rectangle) that I am animating to move out of the way revealing the "color". I would like my desired effect to "fade" in by adding a horizontal "x" blur to the mask. I have been successful at wiping in the saturation, but Flash seems to be ignoring the blur on the mask I have created.
I am using MX 04 and I have a rather large background for my movie 2046x396 and I made it into a mc to pan right to left... it looks ok in the designer and plays fine in the library, but with I testrun the movie it looks like the image is getting smeared on the screen... the movie speed is 60fps and the background mc I have tried from 100 to 300 frame motion tween.
Have you ever tried to mask a blurred movieclip? If the mask is made manually and set on stage it works ok, if we use:mc.mask = mask;it seems like the mask is also blurred and it doesn't work as expected! Do you have any idea on how to solve this?
I don't know if this would be more appropriate under the 3D forum but it could go either way. I'm having a problem: when I access the 3D rotation properties of a DisplayObject (specifically a MovieClip containing a Loader and some TextFields), it becomes bitmapped and loses its scalability. Is this supposed to happen, and is there a way to regain scalability after rotationX/Y/Z are set to 0.0?
I have seen people complain about this, but no work arounds. The blurry eddges I see on the rounded portion of round rectangles is awful. IS there a workaround?
I was wondering if it is possible to have a mask applied through the setMask(); and have 2 out of the 4 edges blurred. That way you can can get kind of a soft wipe transition.
I have a series of movieclips containing both bitmaps and text.After applying some 3d transformations and moving in 3d space, my text and bitmaps are slightly blurred. This is AFTER I reset all the 3d coordinates (ie z=0, rotationX=0, rotationY=0) Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a solution to get my crisp text and bitmaps back?
I save my (embedded) fonts in an external file (fonts.swf) that gets loaded at runtime. Pretty standard. I also use a bunch of UI artwork generated in the Flash IDE. Some of this artwork contains static textfields (thus, not proper TextFields that can change. Just frozen glyphs). Here's the problem: if I use the same font in any static textfield and then embed that same font into my collection of runtime fonts, the runtime font will refuse to render. It's the same effect you get if you set a textfield with embeddedFonts=true to use a font that isn't embedded. If I change the static textfields to use a different font, the runtime fonts work just fine.
Edited Short Version:The Adobe Flash docs list a property embedFonts on TextAreas:
A Boolean value that indicates whether the font specified in fontFamily is an embedded font. This style must be set to true if fontFamily refers to an embedded font. Otherwise, the embedded font is not used. If this style is set to true and fontFamily does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed. The default value is false. Regarding the "If this style is set to true and fontFamily does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed" statement: How can I detect in ActionScript when this scenario happens?
TL;DR Original Version: I have a flash application which loads external .swf files containing embedded fonts, so that these fonts can be used within the main application. We're accomplishing this by using the following ActionScript code on anything which uses custom fonts:
Right I can upload the font to the server.But the only examples I can find - require registerFont(Verdana);Which means I'll need to create a new SWF with the new font embedded and reupload to the server. I need an automated way of doing this or perhaps something different altogether?
I just recently started playing with cs5 and it's new features. I tried to rotate a textfield with the 3D rotation tool, but when you do this, the textfields gets blurry.And it seems like it's not a vector text anymore, because when you zoom in, it still is blurry.Is there a way to prevent that?
I've recently had to format my computer and now having a problem with the flash actionscript window: the actionscript text looks like bold, or in a different font. The problem is that when I search for something like "flash" and "fonts", no matter which other words I use, always comes a lot of things about fonts for flash files, or for flash embedding fonts, but never for the program itself. Wich font is missing in my system that flash CS3 needs?
I have a label and I need the pixel value of the end of the text of the label. I will later later need to set a icon in fronto f the end of the text. I tried label id.x and y but it seems not working. Also for some reason when I do something like <label id>.x+5 it gives me a implicit coercion error...not sure why?
I was wondering what the code to get something to go to a whole pixel value is. I'm using pixel fonts inside of a movieclip and when the movie clip is moved through actionscript and lands in a different spot with easing, the fonts look bad because i suspect that they are no longer on pixel values.
I made a menu by attaching movieclips and specifying the text as a variabel. the main movieclip is called meny, then I attach the movieclips txt and pil (pil is norwegian for arrow) inside it, and specify the y pos. This works on my mac, but when I see it on a PC the text is down by aprox. 5-8 pixels.
How do I programatically get the pixel dimensions of my SWF. I tried using stage.width and stage.height, but this seems to be a tight bounding box on all the objects in the video, not the actual viewing area. I also want these pixel dimensions to be accurate as javascript dynamically resizes this SWF.
