I think I know the solution.... It's quite a different approach... but a lot of times text has shifting problems on hovers and whatnot when their x,y's are not set at exact pixels.
Maybe try changing the positioning on the stage so that the elements use an exact x,y value, or do a Math.round() if you're positioning them through AS. Hope this helps. -Taka On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 4:05 PM, Ashim D'Silva <as...@therandomlines.com>wrote: > Wow. Thanks. I wouldn't have thought rotating a text field would make it > better.
