How do I outline text in Flash?

I'm trying to put a stroke around some lettering in Flash,
can someone help me out with how to do it? Thanks!

yepper - that's true ;) what i will often do is copy the text
object and run this procedure, then apply a wide stroke and place
it behind the original text. now there is another way though - like
for instance if you're trying to apply a 'stroke' to a dynamic
textField - you can use the 'glow filter' and turn the strength way
up to like 1000% to get a 'hard-ish' edge. there's probably a few
other ways to do it too, like with the bitmapData class and some
pixel manipulation - but it'd be pretty extensive.

How to Edit the Text in Flash?

Hi there,
I want to know that how to change the text on the Flash
(.Fla)
I have .Fla and want to edit it with the step by step help.
Currently, I want to edit the text on the home page.
http://www.mtkinetics.com/ayc/index.html
Any help will be highly appreciated.

1. click on the text. in the properties panel it will say
static text, dynamic text or input text.
2. if it's static text, click on the text tool and click
inside your text. then edit. if it's not static text, you can do
the same thing, but the text will be changed by actionscript during
run-time IF text was originally assigned by actionscript.

How do I underline text in Flash?

There doesn't seem to be any clearcut instructions on how to underline text in Flash. I did a search and there seems to be many solutions by adding code, etc. I tried using the Line Tool to underline some text and it shows up fine on the stage but when I preview it, the line does not show up. Any idea why?
Is there a simple solution on how to underline text for someone new to Flash?

Ok I finally saw it, but that text doesn't correspond to the text that I originally typed in the text field. I guess the code will override whatever you type on the stage, eh? (yes) I might as well just delete what's on the stage and just use the code (yes)
The text field had room for 4 lines. But the code you mentioned appears to be only for 1 line. So if I type something long, the text gets cut off (ie/ it doesn't wrap to the next line of the field). What is the code to put a second line of text beneath the first?
1. make sure you're using a multiline textfield with wordwrap. you can then use <br> to manually insert a line break or let flash wrap text that doesn't fit on one line.
Would the only option be creating a new text field beneath the first?
no

How to Create Outline Text in OS X 10.10 Preview

Just installed OS X 10.10 and, all in all, I'm very happy with the upgrade. Preview really has some nice enhancements, but one thing that seems to be missing is the ability to create outline text. It was present in Mavericks, but I can't find any way to do it in Yosemite. Anyone else notice this?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Outlining text in flash

Hello,
In Flash, is there an option for outlining a text? For
example, I type a word & want to outline the word with 1px in
black.
I think it's called Stroke but I can't find it
Thanks!

Oh...that xtypeof is a leftover of the API....you can get rid
of the
'if' declaration altogether (or replace "xtypeof" with
"typeof").

How to display dynamic text in flash CS5....

i am using flash cs5...i created a game but when i m running it...it is showing a message saying "Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts""
and i am not getting my dynamic text output.......please hwlp me out!!!!!!

As the error message says, you need to embed the font(s) that you use in any input or dynamic text object so that Flash will have that font to use when displaying the dynamic text. There are several different ways to accomplish this. Are you using textField objects on the stage, or are you creating instances of textFields using Actionscript?

Creating Outlined Text in Pages 09

Having read the manual for Pages 09, i've learned how to create Outlined Text, but i want to know if i can keep the colour of the text as it was before creating the outline. For example, a black bold headline with a red outline? Instead what i get is just a black outline with the colour inside clear.

Which problem of misalignment ?
Which problem of multiple objects ?
For the stroke, we may apply bold to the outline text if we want a 'larger' stroke.
You are so biased that you forget that with my "allinPages" soluce, the text remains editable.
With yours, if the text must be changed we must return to the third party tool.
Yours respond to the needs of some users.
My guess is that my soluce responds to the needs of more of them.
The only drawback which I encounters is with letters which join like the m and the p in Sample.
I must add that I deliberately built this example but as I use this kind of effect only for titles, in practice it doesn't strike because I don't use this kind of fonts for such use.

Can Flash export VECTOR or outlined text in PDF,Ai or EPS?

We have a web based flash interface that allows customer to
design a custom product online. The problem is that the flash then
creates a PDF and that PDF never ACCURATELY matches what the
customer designed in the flash application. The line and letter
spacing is always off. I think the problem would be fixed IF we
could create or export a PDF or a Ai file or a EPS file from FLASH
that did NOT have the editable text. At the moment of EXPORT it
needs to convert all text to vector or outlined text. That would
alleviate the FONT problems. Does anyone know of a plug-in or some
method for doing this?

Why do you want to change it to a png for placement? Just place it as the original .ai eps file you got. You never want to use a jpg, png or gif in a document that's going to be printed. The minute you change it to a png or jpg you're going to lose resolution. That's why it's pixelated

How to specify "static" or "dynamic" text in Flash CS5?

Hmmm. Things have moved in version CS5! How would I specify text as "static" or "dynamic"? Can't seem to find the selection in the Properties palette.
Thanks-

Should be right at the top of the properties panel. Make sure to select your text box first. Also, change TLF text to classic text.

How to use an dynamic text from Flash in FlashBuilder with swf ?

Hello,
i'm trying to develop a game in flex builder and i got a problem with the dymanic text i've imported from flash. I want to insert a scoreboard in my application and for doing that i should use dynamic text in flash. I create a dynamic text in flash and then a import it to Flash Builder in a movie clip, and i called the dynamic text "Score". Now i've tried to use the "Score" variable to change the value of the dynamic text box un my flash builder application, but it doesn't change anything.
I read somewhere that i've got to use the score.text value to change the number of my score but that doesn't works because Flash Builder tells me that this sort of variable don't contain the .text value.
Thank you for trying to help me.
bye.

Thanks Ned,
I always welcome learning something new.
I did not know creating a new keyframe,
creates a new instance.
Yes, I had used the same dynamic text field instance name in
numerous, new layers (great observation).
With the objective to display the User's name throughout
the timeline (on and off)...
I'll attempt to paraphrase your solution;
Use a single layer to display the dynamic text field.
Extend this layer's timeline throughout the movie, or end use of the dynamic text field.
Help with this one ??
Set the visible properties to true or false as need through out the timeline.
( Does require an AS3 ? )
I'll give that a try.....
~~
Side of effect of using the above solution;
The SWF in it's attempted state, uses the dynamic text field instance, in
different places, different text sizes, on the stage, throughout the Movie.
(i.e. the User's first name appears in different sentences...)
Per the solution above,
I believe I will be limited to One location, one format setting.
Is this assumption correct?
I can make this work from a display / Movie point of view.
However, your first VAR concept, noted above, might be
worth exploring should more flexibility be required.
Thanks for making the time to coach...

How do I get text to flow from one page to the next in Pages 5?

How do I get text to flow from one page to the next in Pages 5 with the Maverick system?

What may be overlooked in Pages v5 is the notion of combining Text Boxes via the Menu > View > Show Arrange Tools. When you select two Text Boxes, an extra panel unfolds at the bottom of the Arrange Tools window. Uncheck one Text Box and this panel abruptly disappears.
One can achieve text flow effects between Text Boxes differently based on how one positions the Text Box overlap, and choice of effect above. Though not the accustomed flow found in Pages ’09 v4.3, flow does occur. Consider the possibilities of combining a Shape and a Text box to cut an irregular Text box.
If I create two Text Boxes and position them side by side with outline touching and choose Unite, this creates one larger Text Box and text flows across and down. On the otherhand, if I overlap the upper left corner of a lower Text Box over one above and to the left, then choose Union, pasted text fills the first Text Box and then flows across and down into the other box. Here is a Union example:
Intersect will leave a small Text Box where the two overlap, so not much value there. Subtract will cut a chunk out of one Text Box that is the size of the overlapping piece of the second Text Box:
And Intersect will leave an island in the center where the two Text Box overlap, with flow jumping over this bridge.
Clearly, this is not what we were accustomed to in the past, but with imagination, style, and layout tuning, it does offer alternative Text Box creativity and layout. Of course, there is the option of simply returning to the previous Pages version for true Text Box linking that most will want to use.

How do I make my banner flash from one photograph to another?

Good day.
I am using Dreamweaver CS5.
My banner of 968px X 280px is a JPG image (photograph) with a logo.
I would like to learn how to make the banner photograph flash from one photograph to another.
Can anyone help me with how to do this or guide me to where I can find a tutorial on this?
Can this be done in Dreamweaver with code, or do I have to do this in another application first?
I have Flash, Fireworks and Photoshop.
I will appreciate help.

Hi. Thanks!
Yes, that is what I am looking for, if I can keep the same dimensions of my banner.
Will jQuery allow me to specify my own dimensions?
It's not jquery that determines the dimensions of your container for your images, you do. The dimensions can be any size. jquery is just a script which alternates the images within the container:
Go to the link below and look at the source code.
http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/basic.html
These are the two jquery scripts you will need to download:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/jquery.cycle.all.latest.js"></script>
plus you'll need to include this small snippet in the 'head' section of the page. Change .slideshow to the class name of your container.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.slideshow').cycle({
fx: 'fade' // choose your transition type, ex: fade, scrollUp, shuffle, etc...
</script>
