i am at my wits end because i have done everything humanly possible.
every single freaking pixel font blows up in the same places. what the HELL???
i've used whole numbers, snap to pixels, no anti-alias. SEXTUPLE checked
EVERYTHING. the damn fonts look like someone spilled water on the them.
i just want a clean interactive piece. WHAT IN THE HELL AM I DOING WRONG????
maybe there is some script i need?
WHO CAN HELP???

are you setting the size to 8? Most pixel fonts are meant to be only size 8

Make sure you no AA, the size set properly as Alwinch said, and also make
sure the fields are located on whole pixels. X,Y values like 39.4 vs 39 will
make fonts look like crap.

did you see my note?
i use whole numbers and use the correct font size. i have made sure and
double checked across the movie.
i've checked on different versions of flash and a different computer. the font
blows out in the same places.

What happens if you set _quality="BEST"
If it blows out in the same places, can you describe those places a bit
better? Is it always 3 clips deep inside a graphic symbol or some such?
I know you said you've checked everything, but have you checked the html code
-- assuming you are viewing this on an html page? Make sure that you haven't
done something in there to slightly squash or enlarge the whole swf. It is
pretty doubtful, but at this point we are grasping at straws!

i've tried _quality and that doesn't work either.
i have some intro text that fades in as an attachMovie ("intro_text_mc",
"intro_text_mc", 2, {_x:-42, _y:110}). that is slightly blurry.
i have clips 5 levels below the root that look awful.
this has been a failure. i am totally frustrated.
