you'd have to break the link and turn text into bitmap before you can tween it. I forgot the proper term used for that in Flash, but I suspect its one of the options on rightclicking text object

Hey guys, I have a new project in Flash I'm working on, which I need some help on. What I want to do is make a banner for my signature. I would like to start with initials and have the rest of the words grow out from them. |

this is what i did but it's messed up. The font looks nice just by pressing enter but pressing control > enter (and published) it is wrong. I like the flipping effect, and how do i get it to do that without the letter flipping horizontally again in the last frame? Edit: you cant really see what I'm talking about so i'll include the fla. I know that I made the B face backwards, but the flipping effect is lost if I turn it the other way; this is to show what my intent is. |

Either I am doing something wrong, or that doesnt work, because i selected frame 23 and tried to convert it to a keyframe but it messes up the tween.... I read that flash does not like you messing with tweens like this..... so now I'm even more confused than before. Why do the fonts get messed up when I try to test the movie? |
