Dynamic Text

I am having a lot of trouble with my text in Flash. The text looks very blurry
in the browser and when previewed in the swf. format but it seem to work a lot
better if I make the box a Dynamic Text Field instead of a Static Text Field.
Is it ok to do this? As in all my text, menu's etc are ALL Dynamic Text Fields?
Will this cause problems down the line?

I was also wondering (very simple but I just dont know) how, when I click on a
button can get it to link to another site in anoter window?

Cheers,

Mike

Check the _x _y position of the text, make sure it is on a whole number, ie: _x=10, _y=45, [b]not[/b] like this: _x=43.7, _y=23.1.

Text comes up blurry possibly cause you have anti-aliasing on. If you
look in the properties panel these is a button to toggle 'Alias Text'.
the reason your text doesn't looked blurred with a Dynamic Text Field
is cause the anti-alias is off by default.

As for the link to another site, you want to use getURL

ex.
getURL('http://www.yourlink.com/', '_blank');
