Flash: Anti-alias for readability + justify
March 27th, 2006 by LuisLast month during the development of the new Redbull Formula 1 site, we found a big number of unexpected behaviors when using some of the new Flash 8 features such as the texfield advanced anti-aliasing mode.
When setting the align property of a textfield to "justify", the advanced antialising-mode is ignored completely. I don't really know if this is a bug or there is an explanation for it.
[UPDATED]
It seems to work fine with Flash 8.5 player.

I think they fixed that in the version 8.5 as I can’t see any difference.

Well, there is some difference on my laptop using the Adobe FP 8.5 but hardly visible…see http://www.flickr.com/photos/ohwhen/118830533/

The right sample is obviously blurry with 8.5 for me.
