The flash
text object lets you create and insert a Flash movie that contains just text.
This allows you to create a small, vector-graphic movie with the designer fonts
and text of your choice.
1.
In the Document window, place the insertion point where
you want to insert the Flash text.
2.
To open the Insert Flash Text dialog box, do one of the
following:
·
In the Insert bar, select Media and then click
the Flash Text icon.
·
Choose Insert > Interactive Images > Flash
Text.
The Insert Flash Text dialog box
appears.
3.
Select a font from the Font pop-up menu.
This menu lists all TrueType fonts
currently loaded on your system.
4.
Enter a font size in the Size field; these are point
size.
5.
Specify style attributes, like bold or italic, and text
alignment by clicking the appropriate style buttons.
6.
In the color fields, set the color of the text by using
the color picker or entering a web hexadecimal value (such as #FFFFFF).
7.
In the Rollover color field, set the color that appears
when the pointer rolls over the Flash text object. Use the color picker or
enter a web hexadecimal value (such as #FFFFFF).
8.
Enter the text you want in the Text field.
9.
To see the font style displayed in the Text field,
select Show font.
10.
If you want to associate a link with the Flash text
object, enter a document-relative or absolute link in the Link field.
Site-relative inks are not
accepted because browsers don’t recognize them within Flash movies. If you use
a document-relative ink, make sure to save the SWF file to the same directory
as the HTML file. (Browsers vary in their interpretation of document-relative
links and saving to the same directory ensures that the links will work
correctly.)
11.
If you entered a link, you can specify a target frame or
target window for that link to go to in the Target field.
12.
In the Bg color field, choose a background color for
the text. Use the color picker or enter a web hexadecimal value (such as
#FFFFFF).
13.
In the Save As field, enter a name for the file.
You can use the default filename
(for example, text1.swf), or type in a new name. if the file contains a
document-relative link, you must save the file to the same directory as the
current HTML document to maintain document-relative links.
14.
Click apply or OK to insert the Flash text in the
Document window.
15.
If you click Apple, the dialog box remains open, and
you can preview the text in your document.
