Flash Tlf looks bad in flash professional CS5.5

Question

Just drawing a simple text line.

With TLF text it looks pixelated and with classic text it looks just fine.

Looks at the 's' and the 'r' they looks bad with TLF text.

Any ideas why this happens?

Answer 1

From what I see, it's probably because classic text uses anti-aliasing, and you probably don't use it with the TLF text.

Answer 2

If you create the TLFTextField using pure AS, try to add custom antialiasing:

tlf.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
