Three ways to make fonts clear in Flash animations

Flash Animation

When flash displays static text, the text appears blurry, and the middle is even glued together

There are 3 solutions.

　　1) using Device fonts

When you use static text in Flash, Flash inserts font profile information, and anti-aliasing processing, so the outline will appear very fuzzy, the use of device fonts, flash no longer inserts font profile information, only when the client plays the client's font information, and will not be anti-aliasing processing, The results of this are:

A. The font is clear when it is below 12pt, but there is a significant sawtooth when it is larger (about 18pt or more)

B. If the client does not have the appropriate font, then the unexpected situation will appear, which is definitely not the font you want. So the font used must be universal.

C. Flash for and device fonts can not be a regular time line mask, you need to use the Setmask command,

D. In the flash edit state, see no difference, need to export to see the effect. Always have the impatient friend complained that no effect, and later confirmed is not pressed Ctrl+enter,

"Supplemental":

A Flash includes three device fonts: _sans (similar to Helvetica or Arial font), _serif (similar to Times Roman font) and _typewriter (similar to Courier fonts).

You can also customize by using the device font (Use device font) option on the text Box Properties panel to hook up

b dynamic text and input text use device fonts by default, so it usually looks like they're clearer, and if your needs are just the opposite, embed fonts are used.

Method:

Click the character (characters) button on the Properties panel, and then see a dialog box and select the appropriate option

"Note": English fonts are generally relatively small, full embedding will not let SWF increase how much. But the Chinese font is completely different, do not embed all, as long as the need to embed the characters on the line, otherwise the file must be in MB calculation. When you embed a font, you can see the expected effect even if the font is not installed

　　2 Use Sawtooth type tool

Use device fonts to make text clear is OK, but there are so many inconvenient places, always uncomfortable, Flash MX 2004 Chinese This property panel appears a new thing: Sawtooth text, click this button, even in the editing state, you can see the font becomes clear, And in the absence of a computer to install the font can also be normal display, which makes the work of the text becomes very easy, especially pixel fonts, previously always worried about unclear, and not universal, with embedded fonts are not every font is still clear. Now it's all done with this tool.

About the Sawtooth tool is not much to say, you need to note that the text will have a certain extent of the "sinking", may sometimes only the upper half of a word is displayed. It doesn't matter much, just pull the text box up a bit.

　　3) using bitmaps

With Photoshop and other image processing software, and then output transparent GIF or PNG, and finally imported into Flash, in the Flash library, the bitmap properties set, Cancel the "Allow smoothing" option, this method is slightly troublesome, not commonly used. But if you take into account the combination of some cosmetic, special effects, or more convenient, such as using Photoshop to add shadow to the text, and then export transparent PNG to flash
