Why my dynamic text doesn't look as good as the static one in the same movie?

Question

I have movie clip with dynamic text and static text. I am
using same font, size and color. The static texts looks great but
the dynamic one is not. How can I get smoot fonts within dynamic
text???
Thanx....

Answer 1

Advanced anti-aliasing can be applied only if you use
embedded fonts and a
TextFormat class. In your library, select New Font from the
Options menu.
Choose a font from the dropdown list and give it any name you
want. Ok. Then
right click that font in the library and choose Linkage to
set it up for
Actionscript, and in the first frame.
Add the following actionscript to the first frame of your
movie to set up
the font in the movie:
var text_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
text_fmt.font = "trebuchet-15";
text_fmt.size = 15;
myText.embedFonts = true;
myText.setNewTextFormat(text_fmt);
myText.antiAliasType = "advanced";
text_fmt is the name of the TextFormat class. You can name
this anything you
want.
trebuchet-15 happens to be what I named my new font item in
the library
myText is the name of the dynamic text box that I am going to
be using this
font in.
One more thing. When you set up your dynamic text box ... if
you're using
HTML text, don't override this with a <font> tag that
declares the font face
or size.
Hope this helps. This should make the text in your dynamic
text boxes just
as smooth as the static text.
