Question

flickering animated text

Hi there,

Animating disks (orbiting another disk) with labels inside, I observe small variations in the location of the label relative to its parent circle, hence a flickering effect.

I used AntiAliasType.ADVANCED.

And I replaced the original Event.ENTER_FRAME event listener by a TimerEvent.TIMER one. But still flickering.

Any suggestion ? Thanks.

Gil

Hi kglad,

I just tried embedding the font. But as I feared, the result is the same, whether using the system font or the one embedded :-(

I suspect it has to do with the fact that the labels jump from pixel rounded coordinates, while the circles are rendered un twix coordinates. With a text created at authoring, there are options Anti-alias for legibility versus Anti-alias for animation. I expected AntiAliasType.ADVANCED to be equivalent to the latter.

But may be seing the problem will help ? The files are there : https://app.box.com/s/y4dez4l7mswcndpuw6q2
