I'm using the exact same font (a pixel font) in two flash movies. The properties are exactly the same in each movie.
In one movie when I publish the font ends up aliased which is what I want.
In the other movie the font ends up anti-aliased which is driving me nuts.
I've cut and pasted text into new layers on the anti aliased movie and it too becomes aliased.
I've added new text - aliased
I've pasted new layers from other movies - aliased!
I've checked the publishing preferences and they are identical.
What the heck am I overlooking?

check the text options... turn off/on antialising. (i think its in the paragraph dialogue or something). It's definatly not in the publish settings.

More Info:
I've tried reinstalling the fonts.
When I view the swfs in using flash and blow them up the fonts are ALIASED.
When I load the first swf using flash and then load the second movie in the first the fonts are ALIASED.
When I load the movies using a browser the fonts in the second movie appear Aliased.
I've even tried making the fonts a graphic symbol. I even broke the fonts up.
They still load aliased when I view them in the browser.
This is driving me nuts!

I cannot find a place to turn on/off text aliasing except the "veiw" menue. That shouldn't affect publishing.

I was going to tell you where the anti-alisiing switch is but I see you're using an older version of Flash. Which version is that? MX regular? I have MX 2004. Did you look in the help?

Even wierder. Some people are seeing the text as Anti Aliased but some are seeing it as Aliased.

Maybe it's related to the quality settings? (ie... you can right click on a flash movie and select high/low quality?).

fonts in flash can be very irritating at times. Try to use dynamic proprties for the font - works like a charm. If this doesn't help, make sure that coordinates of the text are even (i.e that they are 5.0 and 50.0 for example, not 5.7 and 51.
- it's important for pixel fonts.

MX 2000. I don't think aliasing pref is the problem. But thanks for mentioning it.
I'm pretty sure it's the positioning problem. I took over the job. One movie loads another so the positioning is a little difficult.
EVERYONE. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HELP. Teriffic forum. Wish I had more time to hang out and help others. I try to do what I can though. THANKS!
