Flash Player 10 introduced a new text system known as FTE (the flash.text.engine classes). It also continues to have the old TextField class. So there are basically two text systems, with their own ways of doing text formatting.
They have some formats in common, but each also has formats of its own. The fontSharpness and fontAntiAliasType formats are not part of FTE and therefore not supported by Spark components, which use FTE. Their closest relatives in FTE are renderingMode and cffHinting. - Gordon From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ariel J Sent: Thursday, January 14, 2010 1:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] flex 4 text styling In the language reference, I see styles such as fontSharpness and fontAntiAliasType for Label, but I am not seeing them as styles for the spark Label or RichText. Are they no longer being used?
