Sorry, it's probably a newbee question, but I'm not a flash guru ;). If a vertical menu with buttons which I want to have 12pt fonts arial, but antialias blurs it and it becomes difficult to read. How can I turn that of so it lukes razor-sharp?

Thanx!
 
If you're using Arial then just uncheck the 'embed font' option and the text will be sharp.
 
In fact don't use static text, which will be automatically embedded. Use dynamic text, which will remain aliased if you don't embed it, but then it may not appear correctly on all machines.
You could use a pixel font, which under certain restrictions, should remain sharp and crisp even if embedded, to ensure the same font is seen on all machines.
