RE: FLASH: outlined text

[Jason Bouwmeester]

Why don't you break the text, then use the ink bottle to outline the text

then delete the inside? This is about the easiest way I've figured out how

to do this.

Subject: FLASH: outlined text



		sorry, I forgot to change the header!



		Hi all!

		Is there anyway to make outlined text?  I would like to

have the text outlined on the stage and then use a gradient mask to fill

it with a colour, but the only way that I've found of outlining the text

is to break it all apart and then do a Curves>Soften edges which makes

the file real BIG!  Does anyone know of a nicer way of doing this?

		Many thanks for any help!
