I am trying to load a movie over another which contains the text for the site. (There will be about 10 different pages of text) The problem is it looks as if I haven't set the text to appear as antialias, but I have on all the movies. Is it something to do with the text being over the other movie? All the text looks bad throughout the site. How can it be fixed? I have tried the device fonts which looks better but I can't have the font I want then. Please help. [sig][/sig]
 
It is hard to tell without looking at your file but probably the problem is that when you created the textfields for all your text, the properties are not set well.

Try this:

Select one of your textfields that is having trouble.
Now right click and select properties (Flash 4) or Modify-TextField. In the properties window, you should see the name of the textfield and all the way down there is an option for the outlines.
Select include all font outlines if you are using all kinds of text or select your specific ones if you don't use some.

Now OK and try that. I have to warn you that this will increase your file size a lot and it will be a good idea if you only use one font for all the fields in your movie because characters are reusable if they are the same font.

I hope that helps
