GridFitType (& animation)

GridFitType has a great impact on Text rendering:

Well not really much to say here:

  • NONE Good for animation and people who prefer Font appearance over readability
  • SUBPIXEL Good compromise between readability (small sizes) and appearance
  • PIXEL Pure nonsense if you ask me What I really wonder though is: Why on earth can’t I adjust fractioned text sizes (aka float)??? In the IDE, yes you can. By actionscript, no you can’t. I don’t get it.. anybody knows why that is? And more importantly: is there some fancy workaround? (in the example I’m just scaling the text fields, but that’s not really a cool solution).
