[RESOLVED] Text from Text tool looks "richer" than text from code

[5Five555]

The textfield on top is made from code, left is without bold and right is with bold

var tform:TextFormat = new TextFormat ("Comic Sans MS", 12, 0xFFCC00);
var tf:TextField = new TextField ();
tf.defaultTextFormat = tform;
tf.selectable = false;
tf.width = 100;
tf.height = 20.7;
tf.text = text; 

The textfield on the bottom is made from the text tool in the IDE, left is regular and right is bold.

This is all the properties of that textfield.

How do I make the top text look like the bottom text? I think the bottom one looks nicer than the top.

tf.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
tf.thickness = 200;

Try that see if it works for you.

How about embedding the font with code?

[5Five555]

Hurray both your ideas worked! But is there a way to create a font to embed with purely code? Cause I had to create a font in the library and export it, I'm trying to make my programs pure code.

You can with at least Flash CS4:
