Type shift in Flash

HI all,

I just bought a flash template and upon trying to edit it on my mac, I see that all text items have shifted up on the stage. However if I open the same package on a Windows box the text appears to b开发者_运维百科e normal.

Is there anything I can do on my mac to prevent this from happening?

TIA

This problem has been around for a long time (Mario Klingemann blogged about it back in 2004! http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000386.php). I believe it has something to do with subtle differences in fonts across platforms. I think it's the OTF fonts that work better than TTF across platforms.

An obvious solution would be to swap the font to one that displays ok on both PC and MAC, but that might ruin the design.

Another option might be to have one instance of the textfield in your library, that all textfields use, which means you'd only have to change the alignment in one place, but this isn't ideal either, especially if you have different font sizes and if textfields aren't dynamic.
