Re: FLASH: Need help-Broken text/Speed issue

[Chris Burke]

Byron, thanks so much for your response. So there's an auto-smooth function

that cannot be turned off. I will experiment with altering the text in

photoshop.


One other question for anyone: How do Flash users effectively deal with the

playback speed issue? What I create at home on my Mac 7100/66 flies by too

quickly to read on my 200 Mghz machine at my studio. I suppose there is no

way to set the speed of playback so that it is not faster on a faster

machine, is there? What is the best method for dealing with this?


Thanks for your help.
