Hello
Thanks for stopping in I'm lost hope you can help ...
How do you add text to a paint element
that you just created
I want the text to follow and stay on the
paint element as I morph the paint element
thru different key positions
In other words does the egg come first
or the chicken.
I guess the text would be a child element
of the paint element or is it the opposite
or does it matter
Whats the easiest way to attach these 2 so
what ever actions are applied to one apply
to the other
Thanks in advance
Any feedback greatly appreciated

(edited because, as usual, I overlooked the obvious)
OK, I did a little trial and error this morning, and have come up with a much simpler way to add a text and paint object together. It's so simple, I feel like a fool for overlooking it in the first place.
Here it is............
Create a new layer, add the paint object, put the text on it, and then morph the entire layer.
Thats about as simple as I can get with it.

Attaching Paint to Text
Hi Jason
That worked great thanks for the reply
But see if this happens to you
I did as you said and it worked perfect (almost)
I created a layer , added the paint element and the text
then I resized the text so it would fit nicely
within the paint element
Heres the problem
I added a fill color and played my movie in IFA
Worked out all the timining issues
Wolla it works perfect the paint element is blue
and the text is black and when I morph it they stay together
BUT
When I export the movie and upload it to the site
the fill color isnt there
Everything else works perfect
Except the fill color on the layers paint element
doesnt show up in browser
It shows up in black and white the outline and the text
I;m using IE 5.00.XXXXXXX because of other issues
they havent worked out in 5.5 namely the favorites folders
dont stay where you put them but thats a whole different story ...
Best Regards: No Circuit

I've had similiar problems with morphing objects in general, what usually has happened is that you've changed the color after you've added the morph, for some reason the color change will not take effect.
I went ahead and made up an example, you can view it here...

RE Combining Paint with Text
Actually I created the layer
Added the paint element and color fill
Then I added the text element to the layer
Then I morphed it and played it in IFA
In IFA it plays with the color fill correctly
So I save it and then I export it
Then I up load it and when I go to the site
Theres no color fill
I tried adding a texture
and same thing plays correct in IFA
But when I up load and then go to site
No Dice
I'm hurtin ...
I downloaded the file from your site to examine the structure
Thanks for puttin it up

Re: RE Combining Paint with Text
Ok just for the record
Originally
I created the layer
I copy and pasted the paint element in the layer
and then selected the fill color and clicked
on close the lines and fill with color
It did...
I then added the text I wanted to stay with the
paint element and resized it to fit the
paint element and when
I published it to the web
The paint outline and text was there but no fill color
So I tried it again this time
I created the layer
"Drew" the paint element (didnt copy and paste it in)
and filled it with the color
Then I added the text and sized it
and now it works ...
Go figure it was a paint element to begin with
that I coppied and pasted in the first place
on the same page but it wouldnt take the color fill
Must conquer flash animator (gasp)
