Why can't it just work as u expect it to. Here's my problem, please take a look:
http://www.feliz.co.uk/font-styl…
when you rollover the link the word after the link "shifts" in a bizarre way. Why is it doing this!?!!
All I've got is a dynamic text box, using html text formatted with CSS. Simple. So why is it doing this? If I turn off the antiAliasType setting to normal then it works ok. But looks crap.
Is this a problem with how flash renders html? Or is it something i've done wrong?
PLEASE HELP ME!
here's the fla:

are you using embedded font or the default system fonts ( _sans or _serif)?
- felizfeliz0
I've embedded the font in the library and using it with linkage in the CSS formatting.
The problem disappears with a system font, or when the font isn't embedded.

Change the text box to Anti-alias for animation maybe?
- felizfeliz0
sorry - that doesn't fix it... damn this flash nonsense, it's delaying my whole project and costing me money!

loose the underline and just go with a colour change? or have the underline constant.
- Fariska0
Text boxes are lot buggy in flash.
Try messing with the antialias, and using a different embedded font.
- felizfeliz0
hmm, well I have to use that font as that's what the client wants. and there's no other way to adjust the antialias that i know off that works to solve this problem.
How does everybody else make a flash website with copy(containing url links) loading in from a xml file into flash?
I can't be the only person to have this problem???

Hey feliz,
I have had almost every problem there is to have dealing with text in Flash and this one has certainly taken a couple of hours of my life.I beleive the problem is to do with autosizing.
Try this: myText.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;If that doesnt work try the other autosize options in the help docs.
- coldy0
BTW neither of those links work, your site seems to be down or something
- felizfeliz0
Hey thanks coldy - i changed the .autoSize = "left" to autoSize = "center" and it fixed the problem. thank you so much!
- coldy0
weird, doesnt work for me. Is there any thing on the rot of your site?
Did the fix work???
- felizfeliz0

- coldy0
Sorry thought you were in AS3,
just change autosize = "left" to "center"

Hey, I think it could be down to pixel alignment. I had similair problems when the x or y of the text box wasn't a whole number.
e.g. textbox._x = 3.2 would have problems
but textbox._x = 3 would be fine.Try it.

Flash is better than sliced bread, but yeah, it still does have some weird issues with font/text. I never use HTML formatting in my textfields. I usually opt to create custom extended TextField classes to handle this crap for me (and using multiple lines). YMMV.
