Animation doesn't run smooth

[Chrysto]

Hi;

 

I'm trying to tween a textfield width and height. For this purpose I create empty Sprite, add the TextField to it, than tween the sprite itself. It is working, except the fact that the tween itself doesn't run very smoothly. here is demo: http://burnandbass.com/text_anim.swf . I tried to set cacheAsBitmap to true to the textfield and the sprite, to the sprite only, to the TextField only... no improvement. I even tried to create BitmapData snapshot of the text, the tween doesn't looked very good. Do you have some ideas?

it looks like the wiggles you would get if you were using the "readability" anti-aliasing setting in the Flash IDE.

I'm doing this purely with code,actually with:

 

this.gridFitType = GridFitType.SUBPIXEL;

this.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.NORMAL;

 

things started to look better, but they're still away from good
