public class TextRenderer
extends Object
The TextRenderer class provides functionality for the advanced anti-aliasing capability of
embedded fonts. Advanced anti-aliasing allows font faces to render at very high quality at
small sizes. Use advanced anti-aliasing with applications that have a lot of small text.
Macromedia does not recommend using advanced anti-aliasing for very large fonts (larger
than 48 points). Advanced anti-aliasing is available in Flash Player 8 only.
To set advanced anti-aliasing on a text field, set the
instance. The following example requires a shared font in the library with a linkage identifier
named,
"CustomFont"
var txtFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
txtFormat.font = "CustomFont";
var label:TextField = this.createTextField("label",
this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 200, 20);
label.setNewTextFormat(txtFormat);
label.text = "Hello World";
label.embedFonts = true;
label.antiAliasType = "advanced";
Advanced anti-aliasing provides continuous stroke modulation (CSM), which is continuous
modulation of both stroke weight and edge sharpness. As an advanced feature, you can use the
setAdvancedAntialiasingTable()
sizes.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8
