Hello there.
I'm new to the whole flash scene, and right now I'm attempting to make a clock of sorts. My problem however is that I cannot edit the shape of the text at all.
I have a font that needs to be smushed somewhat vertically in order to look right, but with dynamic text, any transformations I make to it seem to be ignored.
Is it possible to adjust the vertical and horizontal size of dynamic text, or am I boned in that respect?
EDIT: I figured it out. By clicking "Embed" in the properties menu of the text I was able to select the characters my dynamic text would be using, and embed them. Then transformations seemed to apply to dynamic text again.
