1) Is it possible to warp text/type in flash as you can in photoshop, if so, how? 2) Can one apply various effects to text such as dropshadow, gradients etc in flash?
Thanks for the post, but I don't think you understand my question here. I am not asking whether/how text can *wrap* in flash but whether one can create *warped* text for example, place text on a circular path or create text that's in the shape of a flag or something?
I don't think Flash has the built-in tool like Photoshop. You can always do it in Illustartor (or Photoshop) and import it, but if you really need to do it solely in Flash you can apply transformation Matrix to a MovieClip. This requires a lot of Maths! Have a look at, for example, Sandy:
I must admit, I don't know much at all about Illustrator exept tracing a bitmap and exporting it to flash. I did try to create the text on path in Photoshop and export it as an EPS, that didn't work so I ended up exporting it as a transparent gif just to create a mockup. It would be great to transport a vector of text on path into flash rather than warping my brain with action script at this stage.
