Text is blurry for my paragraphs.

I put up a test page at: - the links are finished yet, but I have made progress on how to make buttons and links. So I am making progress on teaching myself Flash 5. -- My question is how do I get the text clearer? Notice how the three paragraphs are blurry. Is there a way to make the text crisper? I tried to find something on the characters panel, but couldn't pick up on anything. Thanks.
 
First off your movie is not loading, simply because in your html, you're pointing to your own hard drive in your object & embed tags.

<param name="movie" value="file:///I|/HDHHS%20intro.swf">

Furthermore you're using a space in your file's name, and you shouldn't... That will get you in further troubles...

As for your blurry text, it's not that bad. But for now I can't really tell because I'm linking directly to your movie... , and I would have to see it at it's published size which is 550*400.

Been a while since I've worked with Flash 5, check that your text boxes are on exact pixel coordinates as x=150.0 & y=125.0 and not x=150.3 & y=125.7.

That's the best you'll probably get with an embedded font in a dynamic textfield, which you must embed if you want to be sure that everybody will see the exact same font. If you didn't embed it, it would probably be sharper (aliased rather than antialiased), but not everybody would probably see the exact same font.
If you're usin a static text box, then the font is automatically embedded, thus antialiased.
