When it's not rotated, it will try to snap font edges to the pixel, so that it is sharper. @Andy It might be caused by pixel hinting being turned on.

It works smoothly as long as the label is rotated slightly (at least .5), but with out any rotation the text is very jumpy and looks like what happens if you animate some dynamic text in flash with anti-alias for readability applied. Any tips? I’m having a problem animating the zoom or scale properties of labels with embedded fonts.

Because whenever I try to display a font size greater than 150 ( by setting fontSize='180' in the Text Component definition) , the size doesn't change past that of 150. Any help with this would be very appreciated. I've searched around some and I'm not seeing much written on it. I've tried this with both embedded and non embedded fonts. thanks. Diego mx:Text id='flash2' text='A' fontSize='270' hi,

For example i've entered a quotation message and after that it should be appeared and animated. I mean there is a text area and a submit button. And I'm going to put some message in the text area and when i clicked the button it will now display the message that i've type with matching animation. And also I was able also to select font type, font sizes and type of animation. Can you provide examples on this. Your help will gladly be appreciated. Thanks in advance and more power. Regards, Ridge Hi,

I am not seeing any text either. I have added other components to the application and found them visible. Could you please provider your inputs. Thanks.
