    blurry pixel fonts

    I have been following all the rules about pixel fonts (size 8, int. coorinates, not scaling movies &c) but some of my text fields are still not as crisp as what i want. One thing i have noticed is that the bad ones are all a few MC's deep. Does how many MCs within MCs matter with pixel fonts?

    No, but ALL movie clips must also lie on exact pixel value coordinates.

    The coordinates of all movieclips has to be wholepixels too. ( and can not be tweened ).

    Well... They can be actionscript tweened as long as you make sure they all allways fall on exact pixel coordinates, or find the blur when in movement acceptable.

    Sure the textfield wasn't scaled? And you know the text can only be left justified?

    Other than that, you'll have to attach your working .fla or a mockup recreating it.

    i copied 2 text fields (following the rules of location) and placed them all throughout part of my movie and took a printscreen of what i get (attached)

    you will see some are blurry, some arent but all are on interget coordinates

    i am starting to think that flash slightly moves text fields. sometimes when i put something on a coordinate i will check it later and it has shifted by .1 but i didnt move it.

    does anyone know anything about whether or not flash moves text fields; either whiley your editing the fla or viewing the rendered swf?

    That has happened to me... When it has, I usually re-set them a few times and they finally seem to stick to exact values.
