Hi,
anyone know why my text (made in photoshop then imported in flash) looks great when its in its own movieclip (txt_mc) but when i drop the txt_mc movie clip into another movie clip it scales and becomes blurry??
cheers,
G

why on earth are you exporting text from Photoshop to Flash?
- casiokid840
because you cant use dynamic txt with masks, so i can get a crisp font

make sure it's on exact pixel coordinates in both the text clip and the clip you're bringing it into?

scaled bitmaps look shit. is it scaled?
- casiokid840
yeah, but its an image so surely it should retain its size no matter what.
- casiokid840
no its not scaled

Is it gay?
- casiokid840
in one sense, yes, yes it is gay

Well then sir, that's your problem.
Straight movide clips retain their properties better than 'bender clips'.
What you don't want to use is AMERICAN clips, they're the fucking worst

you can use dynamic text with mask if you have flash pro

the holder MC isn't scaling at all is it from it's original size?
is it artifacting or scaling?

i have no idea, what bottlerocket is talking about but good idea with the pro.

I'm a fucking scorpio man! I speak the fucking truth!
- casiokid840
not sure. when i view the txt_mc on its own its fine, when i edit it 'in place' its scaled a blurry.

Man, you're from Brighton! Read what I said about 'bender clips'
- casiokid840
yes all men from brighton are cleary gay, excellent obsevation.

I had the same problem with .png images. Some kind sole on NT suggested this
_quality = "BEST";
put it on the first frame of the _root timeline.
See if that does the trick?
- casiokid840
sadly no. thanks for the idea tho. it seems to randomly scale anything that is placed in that mc

No Bottlerocket, I think your confused - its the AMERICAN clips that are the best, as the BRITISH ones are those that are pasty, depressed, and oh yeah, SUCK!
