i am using the standard 07_55 font in my flash movie...it looks fine when i export it, but once my boss looks at it on her laptop, the text kind of squashes together vertically, and is fairly illegible...she looks at it with the same settings on PC IE too...what the problem...?
thanks

The problem is that your boss is a woman.

ha, other than that....
we got to show this to the client this morning on her laptop!..help, whats wrong...!
- unknown0
if she is showing it on her laptop... try sticking the font on there too... may be something like that?

ok, thats a workaround...but i need to know for the future when the site gets published...not too many people will have that font....

make suire in the character setting on flash mx that you include all fonts...
if that doesn't work, you may jsut have a poorly constructed font...
You ofter get typefaces where the counters are all fucked up.

more info...:
it is a dynamic text field and the its set to embed NO characters...this may be the problem, but i have these settings because the font would be blurry otherwise (yes, its set on whole pixels)....

if it's set on whole pixels I don't understadn yuor problem.. you need to inlcude the font... coz othersie it will use a differnet font completely.. what you need to do is basically INCLUDE the font.. and then your problem lies in actually stopping the blurring...

standard 07_55 is a miniml font made for flash, right?..i shouldnt be having these problems with it....

ok, well i tried including the font in one case and it gets blurry...it is a symbol in a MC, and all are on whole pixel coordinates...

check that you have'nt got it in a symbol... if you have make sure it is on whole pixels everywhere... i.e in the symbol it is a 0 pixles... and on the stage the symbol is at whole pixels too

Engage is right.

also make sure that your movie size is the same as specified in the html... and even check that your movie size is in whole pxiels... for example if you rmovie is 780.1 pxels wide... the html will jsut be produced as 780, and thus it will try to scale it.

it cant be in a symbol!..no MC or graphic?..fuck, this messes things up...
- unknown0
it can be a symbol... just make sure it is on whole pixels all the way thorugh
- Jnr_Madison0
Of course you can have it in a symbol, mc etc.. just make sure, as engage said, that eveything is on whole pixels.

If I had a euro for everytime someone starts a thread about blurry text in Flash.....
What engage says and to spell it out from the top:
1.position on whole numbers only
2.Choose a well made pixel font
3.set it to its default size
4.animate using code
5.set quality to lowEnd of story.

in other words if you have a symbol on stage at 0.8 pixels and in that simbol you have another symbol at 1.5 pixels, and in that symbol your type is at 0 pixels (talking X position) the text would actually on the stage be 0.8+ 1.5 I.E 2.3 pixels.

qualioty to low... is no always a good plan is it? not id everythnig else is NICE vectors
