Breaking apart text does not create anti-aliased text. Broken apart text

creates a symbol with the exact same shape as the original text

character.

To create a look of aliassed and anti-alias text you need to modify the

symbols you break apart to look jagged in Flash or in a vector program

(not Photoshop). Or if there is a lot of text find or create a jagged

version of the font. If you can't create a font then you will have to

place each individual jagged symbol version of the characters one at a

time.

I don't exactly see how it is related :-).

The bandwidth profiler is available in the Test Movie/Test Scene window.

View > Bandwidth Profiler toggles it on and off.

The size Report is created when you export your swf file.

It is toggled on and off from the Export Shockwave Flash window that

comes up after you specify the file name when you are exporting an swf

file.

A report is created in the same directory as the swf file as a text file

such as FilenameRep.txt
