RE: FLASH: combining movies

[03E8@IRQ5]

Try to do this in either Illustrator or Freehand. Make an outline of your

typed artwork and import this Illustrator version 6 (eps or ai) file in

Flash! You could also use a 3rd party plugin like FlashWriter that gives you

the possibility to export Illustrator Artwork directly to Flash .SWF files.


This is the way old fashioned Designers like me do!

not sure if this is correct but if when you do the text and you make it with

a outline...

then select the middle part and delete it then do a fill with the color you

want you would still have your outlined color..i may be wrong but maybe iam

not..no clue

but hell it was worth a try
