pages in flash that dont square their pixels (ie moving stuff by 0.1 or 0.2 or 0.3 pixels)
and a result of this, is BLURRED PIXEL FONTS!!!!! FUCK! it drives me nuts... just noticed that ...
http://www.ccbng.com/ has this problem. nice site, but the blurred font just shows lack of skill or no attention to detail...
any responses?

I concur captain!

i totally agree. but it doesn't piss me off that much. it is very sloppy.

Hurumph ! Here here.
But still, its such a pain in the arse lining up all those fonts.
It can become obsessive, lining up fonts on whole numbers often ends up taking up half of the project time which is absurd when I think about it, the big M need to sort it out so that fonts automatically realine to whole number positions.

the only upside is that when tweening the font (manually, vs. in actionscript) flash moves the font from point a to point b, in x amount of frames...
is that this creates a blur in the middle as the pixel font is sliding over to its position. some people may like the organic feel to the blur, others may just want a pure digital slide (use actionscripting) ...

Seph,
id say that macromedia need to maybe not allow tweens to move by the half pixel....
- Seph0
but make sure you use
int(actionscripting) !!
or
math.round(actionscripting)
or it could end up blurred anyway.
geeky !

derek, true say but think of how clunky the tweens would be.
Like you say, I dont mind the blur during animations, its the blurred static text that grips my shit.
