text anti-aliasing

I imported a file from illustrator.. or rather, exported the file to swf and imported it to flash mx 2004.

the text of the movie will not anti-alias.

i have tried turning the alias button both on and off, neither has any effect.

on a side note, the text is supposed to rotate, and it does, in flash, but not when i look at it in flash player or html.

i am using a mac.. and i am using safari, so that might be my problem, but if it isn't, i'd like to fix this problem.. cleartype font doesn't exactly look good.. with what i'm doing..

added - IE anti-aliases the text, but still doesn't rotate the text

sounds as if the text wasn't brought in as text but rather as a shape. this would render the 'alias text' option useless.

well.. i found out the aliasing problem.. but now.. the text doesn't appear until the end of the spin.

so.. it spins when i look at it in flash, but not when i publish it and view it.

it's like it's dynamic text.. but.. it isn't.. it won't tween.. it just appears at the final keyframe.

Is your font embedded properly?

embedded? you'll have to forgive me.. i am used to flash 5... lol.. i only used flash 6 for a while.. because i just stopped using it for a while.. and then i got mx 2004.. so..

this would work in flash 5..

press on the character button (if u don't use static text) and select one of the embedding options. i think it's called something else in f5, can't remember, but it's located in the character panel
