You can add type to your Flash movies. You can set the size, typeface, style, spacing, color, and alignment of type. You can transform type like an object, rotating, scaling, skewing, and flipping it, and still edit its characters. You can also break type apart and reshape its characters.
You can also place text in a movie that is editable when the movie is playing. Editable text lets users enter text to fill out forms, to customize a game, and so on.
For an interactive introduction to creating type in Flash, choose Help > Lessons > 5 Type.
