Re: FLASH: Gradient

[John Croteau]

Hi Jay,


> I am trying to fill some text with a gradient.

To modify the shape or fill of text characters you must first break it

apart into basics shapes. Breaking apart text will remove all of the

text advantages, so do it only when needed such as is the case where you

want to add a gradient fill to your text. Hopefully, you plan to do this

to a limited amount of headline text as the file size will increase from

breaking the text apart if you have more than one of the same characters

broken apart. Also, the gradients may slow down any effect that you plan

to effect with the new gradient filled text.
