Flash: Anti-alias for readability + justify

March 27th, 2006 by Luis

Last 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.

Example: [flash]http://www.blog.lessrain.com/wp-content/upload/justify.swf,450,200[/flash]

    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.
