View 1 RepliesAll I want to do is have a word start as a normal word, and then distort into a U shape, like the word is smiling. I've been googling and tutorialing and all I have come up with is breaking the word up and then using the distort tool, but it distorts every corner of every letter, isn't there a way to distort the whole word just a little? Also, when I "create shape tween" the text dissapears and when I "create motion tween" it needs to turn into a graphic so then I cant even use the distortion tool. What do I do?
View 2 RepliesIm unsure if this is possible, but I'm looking for a way to distort a rectangle to become a curved shape,So far I can do this through using a variety of masks and blends, to create the illusion, but the as the shape isn't really distorted. Thus artifacts in the image are not distorted.

View 2 RepliesI have a layer in photoshop that is shaped like an triangle, and I want to make it so that in flash when I hover over it, it changes to an 'active' version that is brighter, however whenever I try to import the layer (I've tried saving it as .bmp, .png etc) I can get it to import without the background, but the imported file is still a square (the image size). Essentially I need just the exactly outline of the layer, which is a shape, versus the entire size of the image!
View 1 RepliesAs part of my flash design, I want to have some tweening text. At the beginning of the tween, the height of the text needs to be distorted ('too tall'), and at the end of the tween, the text will have settled into its correct height. However, when I try to scale the text in the first keyframe of the tween, the font size changes along with the text field height. Normally, I could just make the text into an image, but this needs to be a dynamic text field. Is there no way to scale the height of the text field and distorting the text height without changing the font size?
View 1 RepliesI am developing some Text effects in AS3. I did complete curve text effect but are getting problem with bulge text. Because bulge text distort each characters so i have to convert the text to bitmap format to distort. The problem is the quality is not good enough, especially when we resize the object. I see in some websites they solved this issue and it works pretty good, like as [URL].
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to break text through actionscript so that it becomes a shape? I know that I can hit CTRL+B two times to break apart text and convert it to a shape, but I need to do it through actionscript, so that a user can enter some text, and then I have some effects applied to it.
View 1 RepliesI know how to use the Bitmap transformation matrix to manipulate an image using ActionScript, but I cannot �distort� an image. I can only scale and skew.
I did a bit of research before posting my message, and I found a very complicated process of using Fuse along with Sandy (custom class) and some other custom classes. But there must be an easier way.
I simply want to distort an image like in the example below (I am referring to the one with the caption "No")

I can rotate the movieclip & scale it in x & y directions which is great BUT has anyone got any ideas how I could distort it into a trapezium using actionscript?[code]Scaling the y is fine, but I effectively want to scale the x dimension by different amounts depending on what the y position is.

When realesed inside the drive, a music clip would play. If release outside, go back in initial position.

public var baseHP:int = 50;
var newRect:Shape = new Shape();

Whenever I add shape hints to a shape tween the shape disappears in the between frames. I am using CS5 on Vista. I using files from [URL]to practice.
View 2 RepliesI'm looking for an AS3 version that dynamically populates this shape and allows for difference in font size to give it some more variety and flavour. I've got some examples of tag clouds but they don't accept a shape as its outer bounds and I've found some that allow for a shape but don't account for dynamic resizing of the text. Even a nudge in the right direction would be all I need and I can go from there.

I need to draw a circle and a text above the circle that says "Hello world"the circle can be dragged around and the text move along with it.
dragging the text will not do move anything.
This is what i have so far. not sure what to do from here.[code]...
I would like to embed some text into a circle in ActionScript. I have three problems: I can't get the text to center in the circle, I can't get the text to be center aligned, and I can't get the font to be applied to the text. Regarding the font, I know that it is embedded correctly, as it works on TextFields I create on the stage.[code]
View 1 RepliesLet's say i create a textfield(with some text in it ) and then i want to convertit to a shape. How would i do that + is it posssible to shape tween texts using nothing but actionscript?
View 2 RepliesFor those of you who know how to shape tween TEXT, you can do it by breaking it apart(under the MODIFY tab) in the GUI part of Flash. In AS3 however, you can't do that.
End Result wish - To simply have the text font increase in size starting from say, font size of 10 to 300 as if it is coming out of the screen. Imagine a dot, and then imagine the dot shape tweening out to become a large dot until it fills up your screen, now imagine your text box being able to do the same thing.
Here is my dilemma:

View 3 RepliesIs there any way to draw text in a DisplayObject or Shape using only ActionScript? The only way I can find on the web is by creating a TextField, but I can't add a TF to a DisplayObject or Shape.
DisplayObject implements IBitmapDrawable which can be passed as an argument to the draw function of a BitmapData object, which then can be drawn using graphics.beginBitmapFill.[code]...
I'm pulling in some text from xml into a dynamic textfield on the timeline.All is working groovy, until I tried to put a shape (just a rectangle of color) under the the textfield in the timeline. It turns out this shape completely BLOCKS the text, even though the shape is on a layer UNDER the dynamic textbox..
View 8 RepliesI have a problem with truetype font "DaxComp-Medi" and with some timeline and actionscript positioning. I have a mc in which I have another mc in which I have a circle in which I need to put the text in the center but that is not that easy.

ActionScript Code:
mc1.mc.mc.txt
mc1.mc.mc.circle

So is there some way in as3 to get those numbers in the center of the (white) circles?
Do I need to convert the TextFields in to the BitmapData (how?), find positions of pixel that has some black color (How?), draw rectangle with that information, copy x and y point of the rectangle, center the rectangle in the circle, calculate offset x and y from the rectangles new position and add them the textfield x and y?
I'm trying to fill shapes with text.
These shapes are pretty complex (i.e. they're not square, see image below).
So far, I place textfields manually on the stage and populate them one by one with strings (names) stored in an array. (The textfields are also in an array).
The example below is very simple and I will probably have to setup a good few hundred textfields in the final project.
Would anyone know of a way of populating these textfields dynamically according to an underlying shape?
Or maybe a different approach altogether?
I was thinking collision detection might be an idea but not sure where to start.
PS: I cannot simply use a mask over the chunk of text as each character shall be visible within the shape.
