Re: [Flashcoders] allowing slow animation
Oops, looks like I forgot to ensure the font outlines were included in my dynamic text field :) I tested as both a plain textfield, and inside a MC. I don't have time to investigate further, but I believe it will snap to pixels in Flash 7 when: - You use a dynamic textfield without embedding fonts - You set the font to appear aliased - You are using a pixel font (unless flash fudges the anti-aliasing...) But as you mentioned, it would be great to have a .fla of the exact circumstances to test ourselves.

Re: [Flashcoders] allowing slow animation
Hi Durand, I think I've had this problem before, I'm sorry though I don't remember how I solved it, I just remember it having to do with a particular flash 8 effect or filter that I was using. Can you post an FLA that reproduces the problem so we can analyze it? You should probably do this anyways, you should try and pinpoint the cause by taking the problem out of context. Good luck, M.

Re: [Flashcoders] allowing slow animation
thanks too for your answer, Zeh,
but we've talked about this case with Ian Thomas, so I've made tests
with all different aliasig parameters, and also with a drawn shape
instead of text. the problem remains the same
I've made a html page holding 2 swf, one in flash 7 and the other in flash 8
in each swf, the content was the same:
3 100 pixel animations on _x in 10 frames, one with a flash ide motion
tween, one with a onEnterFrame and the last one with the Tween class.
all 3 methods are still smoothed in the flash 7 animation, not in the 8
version...

That was sometimes a problem because when we wanted a aliased
display, we had to enter entire coordinates for the object...
Now, by default, flash displays the object in animations only on
entire pixels, but only for animation so the choice doesn't seem

enter manually entire coords, but in the animation we can't avoid
those entire coords... it shall be the contrary, isn't it?
is there an option, checkbox or something else to be able again to
have smoothed 100 pixels in 10 frames animation instead of a pixel
each second?
You're either not using the 'anti-alias for animation' setting on the
textfield (it's the same as the default font setting on Flash 7-) or
the font isn't embedded on the movie (so it's using the API for
drawing device fonts and it will snap to pixels).

Re: [Flashcoders] allowing slow animation
Hi Ian,
thanks for your answer, but no, it doesn't solve the problem.
Its actually texts, but I tried with changing the aliasing properties
without any result, and tried also with a vectorial shape and the
problem still be the same...
