Re: FLASH: Small text in buttons

[Jacobo Martínez]

Hi Jeff


I reported the same problem to the list little time ago, and this is what I

found:


If you use small font sizes (12, 10, 9 pt...) when the movie loads into the

flash player or the browser, the antialias produces a very "tricky" effect,

with blur noise or something like that... So, you have different solutions:


- In the Option Menú "File", select "Publish Settings" and go to the HTML

options part. In there, select "Device font". This should make the fonts "as

they are", without the annoying antialias effect.


- You can also switch to high quality the movie, but this seems to make no

visible changes in fonts. Select a frame in the timeline and toggle high

quality by doing this:


Set Property ("High Quality", "true")


- The third option is to insert text fields over the buttons (not a very

"clean" solution, but effective...), with the following properties:


* Fixed Size field (precalculate de amount of characters you'll need)

* Non selectable

* Non editable

* Border & Background DEselected


And that's all I can tell you.


Bye!
