How can i import text for example with no background?

as a png file or a gif file(with transparency option)..if it is just some text for a logo or something i reccomend the png file ..alot clearer and less work once you have it in flash..if you import as a gif it will leave a small white ring around the text that you will have to go in and break apart the text in flash and remove the ring..don't forget to remove your background in photoshop..

a little sidebar:

would using loadVariables and selecting the "[]" option in the text options panel use more or less memory than importing a gif?

to my eye, allowing flash to convert text to curves makes for the best looking text, but it does increase the size of the swf.
