flash (macromedia): I'm building an application that needs very accurate screen display and
printing. I discovered several things in Flash that don't work as expected.
A very annoying thing is the unwanted change of text flow in a dynamic or
input text when: 1) scaling or 2) printing.

An example:
I have a textfield (embedded font / multiline / autoSize = true) in a
movieclip that shows 1 line on screen. When I change the scale (for example an
increase in steps of 5%) the text flow in the textfield changes from 1 to 2 to
1 line and so on. Not predictable.
I think changing the scale of a movieclip should not affect the text flow.
The same goes for printing. When I print a movie with a textfield via a
PrintJob then it occurs that the printed output differs from the movieclip:
again the text flow has changed. I again think that this should not happen.

Am I overlooking something or isn't Flash (version 8) capable in handling
accurate font display?
I'm curious if there is a way to do accurate font handling in Flash, i.e. a
printed output of a movie is exactly the same a the on screen display; so no
differences in text flow.

Someone?

The change in textflow is caused by the Flash 8 TextField.antiAliasType property.
