Below is a code with my example. If you zoom in you'll notice that text is not as sharp as it is if you uncomment this line (txtFld.rotationZ = 90). Is there any way I can improve sharpness on font glyphs so after rotating they will look the same as before?

Does anyone know what might be causing this? Perspective angle seems to have no affect.
View 3 RepliesI have a Movieclip on which there is a Video Player in the left and thumbnails in the right. The thumbnails are of other videos and aligned in 4x4 grid. Every thumbnail has a small description (textfield) below it. The number of thumbnails are dynamic and there may be n number of videos. So I have written a pagenation code for them, by which 16 thumbnails will be visible on each page. Now when I change one page to other, I need to rotate the thumbnails with text in Y axis and display new thumbnails and their respective text. I have embedded the font Arial and I am adding the textfields from as3. But even after rotation, the text becomes blurred. I am setting the following properties:
TextFormat:
colorsizealign
TextField:
embedFontsmultilinewordWrapautoSizeantiAliasType
Library Font:
Arial Regular (No Bitmap Text)
Using AS3 I am dynamically creating, sizing, positioning and formatting a textfield. I am dynamically setting the content of the textfield from the contents of an xml file. I am trying to use the bold tag and noticed that it is not working. After a bit of searching the best I could come up with is "Flash CS4 tag in with htmlText". Bottom line: I have to embed an emboldened fontface.
As an example, let's say I want to use Tahoma. In my .fla file (using Flash CS4) I embed Tahoma and export it for use in actionscript. This lets me use Tahoma as a font in my textfield. If I try to use the b tag (textfield.htmlText="not bold, <b>bold</b>";) the bold text does not get emboldened. Based on the above question I have now embedded the Bold version of Tahoma as well.
How do I link the bold version of Tahoma with the regular version of Tahoma so that when using the bold tag I get bold text in my textfield?
I have 3 clips on my stage each containing a textfield into which I load 3 html files. I seem to have this part working fine, however the css I have loaded is not being applied to any text field. Not sure why. I am sure the fonts are embedded correct also. I have attached all the relevant files if needed. Ignore the scrollbars. They are the next challenge.
ActionScript Code:
//load the style sheet
var cssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
cssLoader.load(new URLRequest("files/mici.css"));
cssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, cssLoaded);
cssLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);

In the Flash CS4 IDE, if you have Dynamic Text, you can apply a filter labeled Adjust Color which lets you change Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and Hue. Can someone explain how to do that through Actionscript 3 instead of the IDE? I found a couple of old tutorials and followed them but can't get things working. Not sure if that filter is called ColorMatirx or ColorMatrixFilter or if those refer to something else entirely.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to apply a padding to the top of my TextField instance in my Flash application, much like you would using CSS.
I haven't found any way to do this. You'd expect it to be a part of the TextFormat or StyleSheet classes, but it's in neither. I sort of found a workaround by adding htmlText to the top of the TextField with <br /><br /> in it, but adding entire lines of white space to the top isn't desirable.

When applying text formatting to a comboBox, the text formatting appears perfectly on the dropdown menu items but the textField text disappears.Removing the text formatting from the textField makes the textField text reappear but of course there is no text formatting.
Is there a trick to this.

View 1 RepliesI have been on countless Flash forums, reading hundreds of posts with varying degrees of suggestions all of which leave me without a solution. Posts have been floating around regarding this topic for almost a decade now, and nothing seems to get resolved. So I come directly to the source. First off, here's a description of the problem. I am not the designer. The designer is very purposeful about the font styles, sizes, colors, etc, that he select. So to even consider bastardizing his work my substituting in any of these godawful "Fonts For Flash" would be inconceivable and potentially jeopardize my job. (Not really, but he is very passionate about his work... and who am I to question the master. What is baffling to me is if you watch the animation closely, the text is actually clearer during the movement... but as soon as the animation ends, that's when the text turns fuzzy.

I have a dynamically generated swfs with text fields in a html page which have to be printed/have pdfs made from them. The text is virtually unreadable when printed. I have tried setting the sharpness settings on the text fields to highest, rendering the text fields as bitmaps, nothing seems to improve them. Is it possible to get text to print as clear from swf in html page as from plain html text? I have seen the PrintJob class in as3 but this seems to relate to only one swf at a time. Is there possibly a way to use this for highres printing?

I think it have something to do with the frames of my movie.. pls help me out on this one.. any resorces on how to make a sharp progress preloader?

Is there a way that during a browser resize and my symbol gets repositioned, it wont become blurry? As in perhaps a way so that it doesn't include the decimals in the new position/rounds up or down?
View 3 RepliesI've included the full class called Navigation.as. The class basically draws navigation elements on screen and displays them onMouse over and out. What's also neat is that it actually "rotates" them onto the screen. Now I'm using a font called "Minx" which is a bitmap font. However when the rotation occurs the image quality and the text ends up looking *really* blurry. It appears others have noticed this issue: [URL]. The issue is thus that when Flash converts the MovieClip to bitmap it's perspective distorts the quality.
