Text lay-out

[Vivke]

Can i put different text styles in 1 textbox?
I mean a bold heading?
I can't underline text?

I assume you mean loading text dynamically from a txt file?

If so, you can use basic HTML tags to format your text, e.g.
<b>bold text</b>

Unfortunately not with 2.0

With swishmax there is an option to render as html
in the formating section of the font panel.
<>
It only applies to text formating so
one wouldn't be able to put tables div's etc

I mean with import text in a scene

[Frets]

swf format does not support the underscore

The html tag function only works in swishmax.

An alternative I found when I used to work in
swish 2.01 was to simply create the text in an
image editor then import the image of the text
into swish.

Sometimes I even broke out a text processor
(Word) did a screen cap of the document
then exported to gif

I tried that to, I made a image with my text,
but when I view the movie, the text seems unsharp.
I imported it as content and as image, but that don't give any difference.
I use png, is gif better maybe?

[Frets]

That's usually a result of

Image not resting on an integer.
Image not imported to the same dimensions
as it was originally created.
Image compressed in the shape properties panel.

the movie is 750 x 500
I made an image with text with these sizes
Image is not compressed
Whe I view the movi ein his orginal sizes, everything looks fine,
but when I go to full window the text is "double"

That will always happen when you increase the size of a bitmap (as opposed to vector) image. To ensure a sharp image don't use full screen.
