I'm trying to create text that is one color with a one pixel stroke of a second color. I've been able to do this using Object Layers (very easily I might add) but my file has become huge - my guess is that this is rasterizing all my fonts. I've removed everything except my text and the text is definantly larger than it should be (300k and there's only 10 words being used as Movie Clip Groups). The text is part of a large nav menu that has a looping color tween on it in the over state. I've tried different optimization settings and have been able to shrink the file size down to about 150k without losing much quality. My questions are - Is this indeed rasterizing? and - Is there another way I can emulate stroked text in LiveMotion 2 (without using Illustrator!)?
