Description
Applies the regular text anti-aliasing. This matches the type of anti-
aliasing that Flash Player used in version 7 and earlier.
Applies advanced anti-aliasing, which makes text more legible. (This
feature is available as of Flash Player 8.) Advanced anti-aliasing
allows for high-quality rendering of font faces at small sizes. It is best
used with applications that have a lot of small text. Advanced anti-
aliasing is not recommended for fonts that are larger than 48 points.
