trouble with pixel fonts

[acb460acb]

i am having a problem using pixel fonts... i am using harmony font from fontsforflash... i used it at size 8, and set the movie clips to integer values.. heres the swf swf (hit high speed and look on the welcome and prices pages)
here is the fla...fla

[pellepiano]

The textfields has to be on integers too.
I got page not found trying to download the fla.

[acb460acb]

sorry.. i fixed the link now.. yea i have everything set to intergers i think

[pellepiano]

Your fla is over 8 megs????
Its a little to much just for checking a textfield.
Couldnt you just copy the movieclip to a new document?

And I just realized that the font is not included in fla files so anypone checking has to have that font installed I guess.

[acb460acb]

sure i will copy just the movie clip.. can you please tell me how to attatch the font?

[pellepiano]

I have no idea unfortunately.

The font looked a little blurry on your page.. I guess that is what you want corrected. Did you check that the texfields are on integers too.

Sometimes I have to have them on .5

[acb460acb]

yea all my text fields, and the movie clips they are in are alined on both the x and y integer

[pellepiano]

Maybe there is something wrong with the font then.( or maybe its intended for another size than 8 ).

What happens if you make a textfield o the stage ( no movieclip). Is it sharp then? Is it a dynamic or static textfield?

[acb460acb]

hmmm it comes up perfect when its just on the stage

[pellepiano]

Maybe you have resized some movieclips. Then it wont work.

[acb460acb]

yessssssssss one was set to 97% height ahhaah thankssssss soo much man

[oldnewbie]

Yeah! Your "content" clip is not scaled 100% across. Make sure the clip is selected and in the Transform panel, uncheck the Constrain box, and set the height at 100.0%. Re-check the Constrain box.
The text should work fine.

Also take that stop(); action (report as an error) on the content clip, not in it. I'm tired of taking it out myself.

[acb460acb]

OK It went back to bein screwed up.. i found out exaclty why its happening... the 3 parameters that need to be even are

1)Width & Height (pixel #'s)
2)X & Y location
3)Width & Height (percentage)

no matter what i do i can't get all of them to be whole numbers, and still keep the percenages at 100%.. is there some secret?

[bacon man]

if you change the x and y and size in the movieclip to what you want. then the movieclip should be 100% and be ok.

[acb460acb]

yea but when i change the movie clip height to 100% the y location goes to 242.9 than when i changeit to 243 the height goes to 99.8%

[bacon man]

hmmm...i'm confused.

can i have a look at you .fla? i have FFF harmony font.

[acb460acb]

its at the top of this thread

[bacon man]

ok, brb in a few minutes.

though i wont be able to host it because my bandwidth limit is up.
i'll explain what i did (if i fix it that is )

i'll try my best.

[acb460acb]

ok thanks do you have any instant messenger ican talk to you on? if so please pm me the address or s/n or w/e thanks alott

[bacon man]

hi, sorry, but i cant find where the text is.
i found the actual movie clip that its in, but i cant find the movieclip where its being used. (your website is very strange in its layout...for me at least!)
