Is it possible to use smoother text, perhaps with the antiAliasType -> normal
or advance feature for flash 8?
I tried to use this technique in several ways, i.e....

my_dg.setStyle("antiAliasType", "advanced");
or
my_dg.getColumnAt(0).setStyle("antiAliasType", "normal");
or
myTextField_txt.antiAliasType = "advanced";

and none of them work. please help - thanks :)

I found this solution, is in german but you can extract the code. I think this
is not the best solution because performance but it worked in my case:
