Arc Text

[Voetsjoeba]

This is an experiment that I created in response to people here asking whether it was possible to arc text in Flash. It's not possible with the standard tools, but with ActionScript and some creativity it is.

Why don't you create the arched text in a vector program like illustrator, transform it to fills then import it to flash?

Because using actionscript is lighter in filesize and allows you to dynamically change the arc radius, leter sizes, spacing colour etc all at runtime. Eg you could easily type the text onto the line and make it spin or pulse etc with a few lines of code (instead of a whole bunch of layered tweens)

Nice work as usual voets. ( Ps Grant says Hi )
