Rather, a problem I'm having when programming in the Flash CS3 IDE. Here's the issue. Occasionally, when I'm working on an application that uses very small fonts, I find that I get better results if I use device fonts rather than anti-aliased fonts. (I know I can use bitmap text or a bitmap font, but I find that the kerning in these fonts is pretty crappy, and device fonts usually render better). However, I notice that SOMETIMES, if a save an FLA that uses Static Text fields with the "Use Device Font" setting, the next time I open Flash to edit the file, all of those fields have reverted back to "Anti-alias for animation." Strangely, this does not happen with text fields that are set to "Dynamic Text" or "Input Text". This is hugely frustrating... I typically have to go through my entire FLA and manually reset every static text field back to "Use Device Fonts". This doesn't affect the compiled SWF - once compiled, the fonts stay the way they should. It ONLY affects the FLA. Many thanks in advance for any advice or insight.
