Problems with the text (Anti-alias for readability)


Problems with the text (Anti-alias for readability) Dragonirmal

flash (macromedia):
I have some problems with the text clarity in Flash while testing with
different versions of the flashplayer. Actually i always set the text
clarity to "Anti-alias for Readability", which gives a better clarity
to the text when compared with "Anti-alias for Animation".

But the "Anti-alias for Readability" is supported only from
FlashPlayer 8. So how can i give a better clarity to the text
compatible with FlashPlayer 6 and above?

Also, is it possible to test the SWF files with different version of
FlashPlayer in the same pc?

i found that anti-alias is only good for bigger text (12-24px).

whereas anything below 12 looks best when antialias is turned off.

alias text is best for 8-12px. more crisp, less blurry.

I suppose text type would play a factor in this, but the above, I realized for
generic text (arial, geneva, etc.).
