I ran my test in IE6, no problems. Can you post your test case? Sometimes these are caused by the player's interaction with the hardware like a GPU or with features like font-smoothing. You can play around with those settings and see if they make a difference. There also is an mm.cfg file in doc&settings that can tweak how the player uses some of these features. I think one of the flags is disableMultiCoreRendering.

I tried it using Lucida Sans on my environment, and I do see the same phenomenon, of lighter stripes on the background of the FormItems. Here is the way it looks: http://chefaz.net/henry/TestEmbeddedFontLucidaSans.png I am using the latest Flex Builder (3.0.2), and viewing in IE6. It only happens with embedded fonts. --Henry --- In [email protected], Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > I don't have Lucida Bright, but I used Lucida Sans and don't see any problems. > > Alex Harui > Flex SDK Developer > Adobe Systems Inc.<http://www.adobe.com/> > Blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of hr1ny > Sent: Monday, February 09, 2009 5:09 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: embedded font causes labels to appear with > backgroundColor lighter than expected > > > Alex, > Thanks for your reply. > Following is a nice, minimal example that recreates this issue.
