Flash :: Publishing With Out Antialiasing Text

Disabling Antialiasing Text In Flash MX 7
Hello,

I have a problem with the antialiasing of my text. I dont want it smoothed out by antialiasing, but I have no idea how to do that?? I'm using Flash Mx 7. My friend uses Flash Mx 2004 and there's a button for enabling/disabling the antialiasing. I hope there is any chance to disable that in Mx 7.
If not, I would be very happy about any hints, how to load my fla files in Flash Mx 2004. Please help me, I'm running out of time, and I'm stuck with this damn "small" problem.

Thanks for any help.

Advanced Antialiasing Clipping Text
Anybody else finding that using advanced antialiasing on text created with createTextField causes the right hand character to be clipped? What can I do to remedy it? Everything's fine when I set it to normal.

Text Keeps Antialiasing When I Tell It To Use Device Fonts
This is driving me nuts, I've got a website which uses only device fonts (in large text boxes across pages) and in text buttons, although every time I load up flash (randomly) I find it's nicely changed them all back to anti-aliasing for reading. I have to keep changing everything back each time! GAH

Has this happened to anyone else? Is this a glitch, because I've never had this problem.

Thanks

Antialiasing/movement Of Dynamic Text
Related to a previous thread of mine, I want to use dynamic text in a MC that is moved around using AS.

Problem is, that dynamic text shows up unaliased and pixelated, and its movement in the MC is sort of lumpy and erratic. The AS function works perfectly well with static text, which moves smoothly and is antialiased.

Do I need to render the dynamic text in some way, or is there some other method of making it look more normal? Should I use tweening rather than AS to make it move?

Sample file attached.

Antialiasing Html Text Field
Hi Kirupaeans,
I'm using a dynamic text field to display CSS-formatted html. My question: can I embed the font for this text field? When I try to embed the font outlines (via the "character..." button), nothing shows up when I run the swf.
Does anyone know if this is simply not allowed with html text fields, or is there a way around it? Note that using the "alias" button doesn't affect the results.
In other words, on one part of my design I have text in a static field, and on rendering it appears anti-aliased, and frankly, looks nicer. Now on the html-dynamic field, it's aliased and looks worse.
What's the story? Thanks in advance!

AntiAliasing Text Overlapping Issue
Hi there.

I'm working on a project, and decided that readability was too low, so I enabled advanced antialiasing on text throughout the site. In the majority of places, it looks correct, however anywhere in text where the color changes, the text overlaps (e.g. a block of grey text with a blue link in it, the blue link text actually begins on top of the end of the previous word). The weirdest part is that if you roll over the first piece of text (that lies under the second piece), the text shifts and it looks correct.

I have screenshots of before and after and some code examples below. I've attempted to utilize the TextRenderer functionality in flash.text to no avail (setting any advanced antialiasing settings to make Flash treat light and dark text the same results in a crash of the Flash player, so I've abandoned this method) and manually setting thickness and sharpness seem to change nothing.

Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Code:
var ss:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
var a:Object = new Object();
a.color = "#19BCB9";
a.fontFamily = "Georgia";
a.fontSize = "12";
a.leading = "4";
var body:Object = new Object();
body.color = "#666666";
body.fontFamily = "Georgia";
body.fontSize = "12";
body.leading = "4";
ss.setStyle("a", a);
ss.setStyle("body", body);

var blogContent:TextField = new TextField();
blogContent.styleSheet = ss;
blogContent.htmlText = "<body>" + item + "</body>";
blogContent.x = 0;
blogContent.y = 0;
blogContent.width = 550;
blogContent.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
blogContent.embedFonts = true;
blogContent.wordWrap = true;
blogContent.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
http://www.dotstrosity.net/stuff/

Picture 1 is before the mouse rolls over the affected text, and Picture 2 is after. This issue did not occur prior to turning on advanced antialiasing and the font is embedded.

Is It Possible To Switch Off Antialiasing For Some Text Elements In Same Movie?
Well...

Serious question again. Because I am very irritated over how FLASH use to handle text aliasing, Am wondering if it is possible to switch off antialiasing only for some part in movie. For example, one separate text holder with body text should not have antialiasing on, and another text block with titles should.
You got my point, do you?
Please give a suggestion…

Non Antialiased Text Is Antialiasing When A Script Happens.... Dont Want It To Do Tht
I have a submenu that is scrollable and when u roll into the area that checks the x and y coordinates it makes the text antialiased when I dont want it to be anti aliased. The font is Arial nothing fancy.

The link is here: http://www.mywayflash.com/xfer/index.html

The FLA working file is http://www.mywayflash.com/xfer/gildemeister.fla

To see it happen again just hit f5 and refresh the flash to get it back to the way i want it to stay when u rollover.

I unchecked the A in the properties box which makes it look clean at the start... until u roll into the defined area and then it freaks out.

Does anyone know how to remedy this?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Antialiasing Text In Imported Html Files And Css
I followed the css/html tutorial and got everything working properly. The problem is, I lost the anti aliasing along the way. Can I get it back?

Or, another solution to my problem would be if I could use multiple formats within a single dynamic text field. Is that possible?

_quality (antialiasing)
Hi

I know that _quality or _highQuality can be set to turn off antialiasing for an entire flash movie. What I need to know is if there's a way of turning _quality to low to just effect a specifc movieClip rather than the whole movie?
Anyway of getting round this?

I'm sure I've seen it done on the web, but not sure how to go about it!!

Thanx in advance

Font Without Antialiasing
How can I put a font without antialiasing in flash???

If I use a dynamic text it has no antialiasing as long as I will not embed the font. But I have to embed it so every user can see this font correctly displayed and then it is antialiased again.

Does anybody know a trick??

Please help!!

Antialiasing In Preloader
Hi

I'd like to antialias the dynamically created text field I'm using in a preloader. Doesn't seem to make sense to be embedding the font as it's a preloader. Is there anything else I can do?

Antialiasing Problems
I have a problem with the antialiasing in the flashplayer. I have a JPG image with a 1 pixel black frame around it. When played in flash, the antialiasing "adds" another pixel to the frame at the top and the left side of the image. It "removes" the entire frame at the bottom and at the right side. When zooming in I can see that the entire frame is there and it looks ok, except that it's antialiased (and looks blurry). I don't understand why flash is antialiasing a straight line since by doing that it ruins the pictureframe. Is there a way to turn off antialiasing in flash? And can I tell flash to only turn off antialiasing for bitmapped images (JPG etc.)

Any help is appreciated

EDIT: <blush> I found the answer in another thread.

Antialiasing In Components
Hi!

This is something that's bugging me ever since I started embeding fonts in V2 components. The problem is that, if you embed a font in any component, you'll get a VERY blurry font instead of a nice and sharp one. Does anybody has any idea how to solve this "bug"?

[AS] Textfield Antialiasing
Hi!

For a preloader I've created a textfield:

ActionScript Code:
_root.createTextField("prc_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 300, 150);
// Percent textfield format settings
prc_txt.selectable = false;
var prcFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
prcFormat.color = 0x000000;
prcFormat.bullet = false;
prcFormat.underline = false;
prcFormat.align = "center";
prcFormat.font = "Verdana";
prcFormat.size = 100;
prc_txt.setNewTextFormat(prcFormat);

And as you can see if you try that code, the text has very choppy edges.

Maybe someone can tell me if I can turn on antialiasing or something else at runtime...

Thx

CS3-AntiAliasing On Brushes?
All of the sudden my pencil and brush tools won't work too well with my wacom tablet. I've never had this problem before. It seems like the brush strokes aren't being anti-aliased and when I'm done drawing everything is immediately pixelated and pushed the right a pixel or two.

Anyone know what the problem could be?

Heres a Gif to illustrate my point

When I use

File>new>template- advertisement

the brush strokes look fine, oddly enough. But when I just make a new regular file- it looks like it does above

Text Publishing
Hi!

How can I publish text in a flash movie so as to see it as if it was using client fonts? (sorry, my english is not perfect)

Publishing Science - Please Clear The Muddy Waters Of Publishing Best Practise
Having been working with Flash now for a few years there is still something that I find unfathomable & hopefully a clear concise reply to this will help me & maybe others.

Question.

What is the best way to publish Flash?

I have always used the percent setting (100%) & made sure that any jpegs I used would be of a quality that will scale up well. I say scale up I use a pretty big monitor I imagine (hope) that if they have to be scaled down they will not look too c**p.

To me there seems to be this elite science among some of the more experienced developers as to how they publish movies. I know the methods of the stage object can come into play such as _width etc., but how the hell do you accommodate all the components of a movie to work out there size & where they should then sit in a browser window? I have checked out other forums posts & articles on this but there seems to a lot of conflicting information.

I have successfully used & understood the swfObject & also have a good handle on HTML having started off programming with that. My best bet is that a movie is published within an HTML frame/table set & the setting of both are tweaked some how. I'm I on the right track & if so what is the current size of browser that I should be looking to publish to?

Antialiasing Of Scaled Jpg Images
hello folks,

I'm quite sure you've seen this question before but I've searched for quite a while now and no hints found.

My problem is like found in the attachment. I am using an imported jpg, and I have to tween it. To the left is a screenshot from the flash interface, the image is scaled for 75 percent or something. To the right is the same shot in the actual movie (well.. same image, same scaling factor) and the antialiasing looks horrible. (I enlarged some text for your convenience).

Any clues on how to fix this? I want the same as in the flash interface.

I am using flash 8 but not since yesterday, I had the problem in MX too.

thanks!

Strokes Un-antialiasing In Movieclip
Hi guys -
In a flash website I am creating, I have an odd antialiasing problem that I am hoping someone here will be able to help me with.

When the opening animation for the website plays, about 2/3 of the way through, the strokes on all the objects un-antialias for about a second, then antialias again. This happens to different degrees on different computers, and I think it may have something to do with the number of things all happening at the same time?

This document has a number of tweens which go right at the beginning, so I have tried modifying them so that their starts and finishes are staggered and there aren't too many happening at once, which seems to mitigate the problem, but it is still happening on some computers.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any ideas on things I can do to fix this? Would a preloader help?

I have attached screenshots of both states so you can see what I'm talking about.

Antialiasing Problem On My Fonts?
Hi,
I'm new here, and I'm writing from Paris, France, so, if there's some inexpecting errors in my english grammar code, don't be cruels

I'm trying to make a flash program that can animate string expressions reusable in other programs. In video editing for exemple. Maybe flash isn't really conceived to do so, but I already started to program. In fact, I would like to offer a user a possibility to input an expression (title, name, or whatever), choose a kind of animation he wants (the program will set several type of animation), click on button and than the program executes the code. It would be even greater stuff if the user could get this animation in a output video file.

For now, I 've created a code that create an array with all caracters of an string expression separated. And than a function that creates as many text fields as caractes we have in our array. Than a function that display the string. The problem is that the program is displaying fonts of bad visual quality comparing to the original typing of the same letters i autoring window. I tryed to set the highest quality, but it doesnt help.

I hope I've succeded in explaining my problem. If you have any suggestions about the problem, please write a word.

See you...
Heretic from Paris.

Fonts Antialiasing In Flash CS3

No-antialiasing Doesn't Work
On the main stage I have a simple mc with a textfield inside. Despite 'no-antialiasing' option for the textfield, the text is blurry.

When the text is placed on the main stage, it is crisp and fine, but being nested inside the mc, it goes blurry.

What have I tried so far?

I've placed the text inside the mc on integer values, then the mc itself on integer values as well. The text is aligned left.

Do you have any idea?

Regards,
Joey33

ps. I know fonts can be set to readability but at very small size, bitmap/no anti-aliasing is necessary. Anyway, it should work as intended if the app offers it.

Masking Issues - Antialiasing?
Hello to whoever reads this,

I have just recently done up a simple animated logo. The logo is a representation of the "Triple Goddess" not that you all need to know that, but the idea is that the three layers of the animation are not simply one on top of the other, but interlocking so layer 2 is above layer 1 but below layer 3...

(I think I have attached the .fla for those interested)

A link to the .swf is here:
http://www.maidenenterprise.com/flashExample

THE PROBLEM

The Issue is when the animation runs there is a flickering where the mask below is travelling. I have tried changing the size of the mask but that doesn't seem the effect it at all.

Does anyone else have any idea how to fix this?

PS. Im using Flash MX 2004 Professional

Antialiasing Rotated Pictures?

Antialiasing Image Tweening
I have a png exported from photoshop and imported in flash. I broke appart this image in flash and made it a graphic with 99% alpha. Then i made a motion tween of this graphic i made...you can see it here:
www.dragos1230.as.ro/picture.swf
www.dragos1230.as.ro/picture.fla

My problem is that an Anti aliasing effect is coming up in my tween...you can see it here (in the end of the animation it can be seen easily):
www.dragos1230.as.ro/picture.jpg

How can i fix this? ...it's really bothering me...what am i doing wrong?

Text In Html When Publishing
Can someone direct me to the documentation that explains why Flash places the text in my .swf in my published .html?

Thank you,

Text Disappears When Publishing. CS3, AS2.
I'm a newbie, but still, I am using Flash CS3, creating the page with Action Script 2.

I am making a web page for my band, and want it to contain HTML formatted text externally loaded from a .txt file. I think I have all the scripting right, but there is one thing I can't get working:

The text in the text field shows up perfectly when previewing the movie, formatted, in proper size and everything. The problem is that when I publish the movie as an .html file, the text isn't there anymore, even though the .html and the .swf files are in the same folder as the .txt file.

Can there be any properties in the publish settings that makes this happen?

I'll attach the .fla and .txt file containing the page as it looks so far.

Do you see a logic reason for this to happen? In advance: Thanks for the help!

The problem has also been discussed in the newbie forum at
http://board.flashkit.com/board/show...31#post3919231

PS: I've removed the graphics and all the frames after frame 1, to make the zip file small.
