First an issue applying antialiasing to my text, it seems to not be used if the text color is anything but white. The second also regards the cell renderer. I've noticed a difference in the sharpness/brightness of text color (excluding the smoothed character edges) when enabling font embedding, do the rendering tecniques include a sort of blending with the background to less enthe text's visual impact?

I'm working on a project, and decided that readability was too low, so I enabled advanced antialiasing on text throughout the site. In the majority of places, it looks correct, however anywhere in text where the color changes, the text overlaps (e.g. a block of grey text with a blue link in it, the blue link text actually begins on top of the end of the previous word). The weirdest part is that if you roll over the first piece of text (that lies under the second piece), the text shifts and it looks correct.
I have screenshots of before and after and some code examples below. I've attempted to utilize the TextRenderer functionality in flash.text to no avail (setting any advanced antialiasing settings to make Flash treat light and dark text the same results in a crash of the Flash player, so I've abandoned this method) and manually setting thickness and sharpness seem to change nothing.

I have an AIR application that uses the HTML component to display a significant portion of content (I set the html myself, it is not loaded remotely). The text displays normally on Mac (I think Mac antialiases all text by default). However, on windows, the text displays anti-aliased regardless of the OS settings. It ends up giving everything a red tint.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to control whether or not the text gets anti-aliased. Does anyone know if there's a way to to this in Flex / AIR?
when I add a dark glow to some text using 'Glowfilter', the text is set to use antialias for readability.When I preview my flash file the text renders incorrectly - the last few pixels on the right hand side of the block of text are missing. i.e. if I use the text 'word' then the vertical line on the right of the 'd' character doesn't render.If I change the antialias setting on the text to use device font or antialias for animation the problem doesn't happen.
View 0 RepliesI've been struggling to get some text antialiased in a static text field in CS4. The text field is using an embedded font, with antialiasing set to "Anti-alias for readability".
The field is referring to the font symbol in the library and the symbol does not have bitmap text enabled.
When viewing the field itself, the text looks properly antialiased. The field is inside a graphic symbol. When I navigate out of the graphic symbol, the text loses its antialiasing. It is also not antialiased when published.
It has something to do with the font symbol, as it antialiases properly if I set the font to the actual font on the system. It's not a standard font though, so will need to be embedded.
The three images show the text in the text field, the symbol and the published swf.

I asked some flashers to take a look at my problem, but they did not know what happed or why it happend.If you apply a color to a movieclip within a timeline, you also destroy the animation so it seems.I enclosed the fla file for test purpuse. But what i am doing is:I have a main clip called animation and in this clip the playhead goes from frame 1 to 30Inside this animationclip i have a square called myclip that also does some animation.But when you apply a color to this square and you run the animationclip, you will notice thatthe square does not animate anymore. But the playhead still runs, so that is weird isn't itDoes anyone know the answer to this bug ?
The code i used is:
function applyColor(mc:MovieClip, col:Number) {
var tempColor:Color = new Color(mc);

I was just wondering if there is a way to simplify this code. I have 3 identical movie clips and I use actionscript to alter the color to the same color. Right now I use 3 different colorTransform variables. Could I just use one since its all the same color? How would it look like.
So far, naming all the movie clips the same instance name did not work. Is there a better way?
Code:
var color1:ColorTransform = button1.transform.colorTransform;
color1.color = 0x99628B;
button1.transform.colorTransform = color1;

I have a button I am creating from 2 movieclips in the library. One is the button body (shape converted to MC). The 2nd is a series of button logo PNG's for an additional visual button state change.I add the logo MC with addChild to the button body. Then I add the button body to display/stage container. ll is layered correctly.If I add alpha or transform the color to the button body, it goes to the top - covering the button logo.Not applying the color or alpha to the button body and applying a color or alpha to the button logo has not effect (displays correctly).

View 1 RepliesI'm importing XML text and sticking it in a text field. The text has some <span> tags with classes. Also importing a CSS file (verifying that it is importing correctly - at least when I trace it it says [object StyleSheet] - can I trace styles within a stylesheet? Or do an "exploded" trace that shows me everything in the stylesheet?)

I am interested in applying text to each side of the cube.I feel like anything is possible with AS3.I have tried attaching the text at various points in the code to see what happens.I am at a point where I think maybe I need to write a separate threeD var for the text and attach that to each of the cubes sides.I am attaching the code in it's current state, which simply has text var "Can You See" placed in the middle with the cube rotating around it.he code is a bit long with comments to sort things out:
import flash.display.*;import flash.text.*;
var t:TextField = new TextField();t.x = 400;t.y = 350;t.text = "Can You See";t.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();format.font

View 0 RepliesI'm making an interface with quite a few dynamically generated instances of the Button component. I'm trying to animate the buttons' alpha. The graphical elements in the buttons change alpha as expected, but the text label does not. I thought this issue would be fixed simply by using setStyle() to specify an embedded font, but even with an embedded font I cannot alter the alpha.
View 1 RepliesI am wondering how to apply perspective to a dynamic/static text field in CS3? I have tried a few ways, but I can't get farther than skewing. This is the pane on which I would like to place the text. Could someone tell me if there is a way to get the same perspective?
View 3 RepliesIn a mc is a dynamic textfield, trough as this textfield gets his content. The textfield works fine and also the html text displays/works as supposed. No problem at all. But now I put a rollOver/Out on this mc with the textfield, the text shows up allright, but the html doesnt work anymore (I mean the hyperlinks, the rest is okay)
Code:
textmc.textarea.html = true;
textmc.textarea.htmlText = "<a href='[URL]'>link here</a>"
textmc.onRollOver = function() {
trace("hover on textfield");
};
textmc.onRollOut = function() {
trace("going off textfield");
};
So the problem is the rollOn/Out, if I comment out those functions everything is okay...
I'm just starting to delve into AS, so this should be easy. I'm applying a simple alpha fade to the onEnterFrame event of a movie clip using AS, and inside that movie clip there is a dynamic text box that gets its content from an XML file. The fade works fine on everything except the text - the whole movie clip fades in, but the text just instantly "jumps into existence".
View 1 RepliesI'm very close to finishing the creation of a Flash Event Calendar app but I am having trouble with something I feel should be very easy. I'm adding text to a textbox dynamically based on how many events are on the selected day.
For some reason though the styles are only being applied to the last set of text being added. for example, if there are three events on a certain day, i will list the three events but only the 3rd event will have the styling. If there's 2 events that day, the 2nd event will have styling, if there's 10 events, the 10th event will have the styling. Why are they not all being styled and only the last one?
How would I make a dynamic text boxes border a certain color, along with background color.

I have a dynamic textfield that displays different text. What I want is the ability to control both the text color and the background color of the textfield.
View 1 RepliesSo i'm working on this website and I want to be able to switch out the entire color scheme on the website everytime a button is pressed, I've stepped away from flash for awhile and actionscript 3 is new me. Plus I haven't quite found any truely useful stuff on forums yet.
What i can't figure out is when a button is pressed the HTML background color changes to one of 5 preselected colors (that alternate ever time the button is pressed). Then for each background change the text changes too as it is part of a entire new color scheme.
What I've managed so far is to change the color of the background thats within the Flash file. What i did was to make a movie clip that plays to a next frame and stop everytime the button is pressed. Now i just need to also get to change the HTML color and the font colors.
//"homeText" being the name of dynamic text field and "Button" the name of the button and "background" being the movie clip that is the background within the flash file.
Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Button_CLICK);
function Button_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void{
background.play(); homeText.TextFormat(color "0x000000");}
I'm not sure if my code is just sloppy or if i'm completely going the wrong route here.
I'm trying to format some dynamically loaded text with CSS from a database via asp, I know that the asp works fine as it loads in, its just applying a style to the loaded text that doesn't work. This is a modified version from the Kirupa tutorial, but I cannot get it to work after many, many hours.

If you have a CSS ready, an XML file that already appears inside a dynamic text field, what AS2 code would you use to connect the CSS so it applies to the XML file which is now unstyled?
View 1 RepliesMy buttonMC is build of:
1. shape (a rectangle gray color) converted to MC named = Bar
2. (on top of 1) DynamicText named = buttonText converted to MC named = buttText in order to change the color of the shape I decleard a veriable
cButton = new Color(this.Bar);
I then add actionscript onRollOver
cButton.setRGB(nRed << 16 | nGreen << 8 | nBlue);
but it also changed the color of the text so I added a veriable for the text field
tButton = new Color(this.buttText.buttonText);
tButton.setRGB(0xFFFFFF);but that didnt help
this is bad becuse the text on the screen is unseen.
Because the color of the background image in my application is very dark, and the Alpha is very low, when I hover my mouse over a checkbox, the text is scarcely visible. I've scoured the interwebz in vain for what property to set, either at design-time or in the MouseOver event for the checkbox and just can't figure out what property or setStyle property to alter to be able to control the color of the checkbox text when the mouse pointer is hovering over it.
