You're close ;) Try creating an editable text field. Make sure that the

glyph settings

are set to "Do not include font outlines". This will cause flash to use

the font renderer for the platform. (If your platform is performing

antialiasing

your fonts may still be antialiased.) Disable editing, border, and

selection if so desired.


Note that if you use this method flash won't be able to smoothly scale or

rotate fonts correctly

because these features are not built into most platforms.
