I have a problem: I am an alcoholic, but apart from that how come when putting a dynamic text field in a pixel font in Flash, it always get blurry at the end, and how come this doesn't happen when it is a static text field?
Does Flash use an other spacing when loading dynamic text fields?
Any ways to overcome this apart from going to the AA?

It should work fine if you're doing it right. I have dynamic text fields all over my site and the fonts don't get blurry. The cheap easy way out is to publish in low quality, but if you have other vector stuff or other fonts, that's not really an options 'cause it'll look like shit. If your dynamic text field is inside a movie clip thats nested inside other movie clips it can get tricky. You have to make sure that all movie clips are on whole integer coordinates. Also make sure that the text field is sized at 100%. Play with it and you'll get it right.
As far as the alcohol, don't worry, I'm sure you can stop whenever you want. It's just that you don't want to yet.

Thanks, I even wrote a script that places everything on integers.
But how can I scale the text field to 100%? Do you mean its size should also be integer?

i think he is just saying make sure your text field is at 100% size. if you accidently shrunk it or something the text will blur

I think it also depends on the font you're using..
