I need to do a little box of client quotes for a website. The customer wants them to fade in and out, so vertical scrollers are out. I was going to do a Swish file, but Swish seems to be automatically anti0aliasing the text, which I don't want it to do. (It needs to look like the rest of the text on the page.)

What are my options? Can Swish not anti-alias? Do an animated GIF? (This might be too large... 3 140x125 images, fade in, fade out?)

Ideas?

'Tis but another option....

Sadly, it looks like crap

It has something to do with Swish moving the file one px down and on px to the right and its making weird edges on the text...

Damn.

Couldn't you use this?

You just have to leave a one px margin around the text in the gif file. This is actually quite a good method - very small output, only 4K!

Thanks, everyone!

Did I miss the URL? I'd like to take a look at your solution if possible.

Thanks.

I should've known...the web police here at the office have lots of stuff shut off so that we children will not play too much with the net.

I will have to wait another couple of hours until I get home, to check it out.

I went to the website this evening (6:45 CDST/USA) from home, and the lower right hand of the home page would not load....don't know why. It would just stop dead in it's tracks.

Everything else looked terrific. So I was unable to see the swish stuff. I am using IE5 at home, and other swish/flash stuff works so.....

Man, I like the looks of this site though.

I'll try again later....

All fixed... sorry for the no-show, Bill, and thanks for the kudos!

Oh yeeeaaaah....it's there now. Very cool indeed. I like it....and what an effect.
Didn't notice any load delay either.

It's pretty great when something like that works out and comes together.

Have a great day.
