Ex. Font's like kroeger, only work if you use them at 8 points, SPECIFICALLY. Not 7, nor 9. 8. "Standard" family in the other hand, only work when used in 9 size. So, sometimes, even if you do everything correctly, like choosing the right font family, you won't get a crisp results because of the wrong sizes used. One of the ways to avoid this is, to try different sizes and check them with Test Movie, then, and only then, when you already know the precise size of the font you'll use, you create your symbol (either graphic, button, or whatever) and NEVER, EVER change the size of the object, cause that will affect, of course, the size of the text object inside as well. Even a little variation like, 8.1, 8.2 will make everything useless.

all true but also you acn use multiples ie

set size 8 (allows you to use 16,24,32,40 etc)



also one point to remember is that movies within movies have to be on exact pixel coordinates as well


and finally for buttons i would use transparent pngs and just add a tint to the over state to change colour- so much easier than faffing positions
