Why won't my text stay aliased?

as you can see, all the text is aliased, except "presentation" and "map" - why is this? (you can mouseover "presentation" to see that even "play presentation" - which is within the same button, is aliased.

What the eff?

did u select AA for animation or readability?

It is one of those which should make it clear

Same aliasing settings for all the text on the page.

Those buttons in question both have MCs in them - one in "up" and another in "over" - the MCs are perfectly unaliased if I just throw them directly on stage - but within those two buttons it's like they've been slightly resized - but I've done no such thing!

So no one knows?

Rather than Anti-alias for animation (as you have it), use Bitmap text or Use device fonts on all your textfields in all the frames of your clips.

I've never seen a setting called "anti-alias for animation". I'm using MX2004. Are you saying I have to turn off anti-aliasing in every frame in my clip in order to have the first and last frames aliased?

Don't remember seeing any "bitmap text" option either - do you mean I should just put the text in a gif or something and import it?

Isn't this to do with the fact that your TextField is not positioned to integer point?

It makes sense that positioning could have something to do with it. But placing the button, movie clip (within the button) and the textfield (within the MC) in the positions 331.0, 411.0 - 0.0,-11.0 and 0.0,0.0 respectively didn't do anything.

I'm not entirely sure that's what you were talking about, tho.

Right. That's what I thought. So I placed the textfields, the MCs they're contained in and the buttons the MCs are contained in to the values above - it didn't fix the problem, tho. Except the "send" button, which was aliased before, then stopped being aliased and now is aliased again.

Wierd...

The other thing you can try is to create a Font Symbol in the Library with Bitmap Text option selected, and use that for your texts.

Like I said, I'm using MX2004 and because of this I have no "Bitmap Text" option, and I don't think I have Font symbols either, whatever that is :\

All I have is a button called "alias text" - which is activated

You can create Font Symbol in Flash 7 but I’m sure you're right; you don't have the Bitmap Text option in Flash 7.

I used to spend a fair amount of time finding the right position for texts. In most cases it's the integer position as we discussed here. But sometimes it's not - certain font likes to be placed in particular decimal points such as (x.7, y.2).

Heh, this is just plain old verdana - I don't suppose that'd be one of those certain fonts?

Well in that case integer position then!

[krigbert]

Well, I tried that. I even tried placing everything at 0.0,0.0
