    mathematic signs

    Hello flashers,

    My name is Arjan Toet and I'm using Flash MX. I'm searching an plug-in (or a easier way) for inserting mathematical figures like: squares, equations, fractions, etc.

    Right now, I'm drawing all the figures myself and using the graphics out of my library.

    There must be an easier way to do it. Only I do not now how.

    Is there anybody with an better idea than the way I'm doing it right now??

    Fonts. You better search on the net for fonts being or containing mathematical signs.

    Equation Editor

    thank you for replying TheCaramella,

    I search for fonts, and found out that they won't do the trick. I start using Microsoft Equation Editor. This program is easy to use and exactly what I needed.

    Only the copy paste from Microsoft Equation Editor to Flash MX is not OK.

    What is the best way to import an Microsoft object into a Flash scene?

    If you've got Flash mx studio, and are on a Windows system, you should be out of trouble. If not, I can help you, if you tell me (*haha*, SHOW me) what other signs you need.
    I did the enclosed file in Freehand 10, converted the letters to paths, and exported as Flash file. For some stupid reason I can't reach the symbols from within Flash.
    You should create a symbol of each one, those you need, of course. If you're going to reuse the symbols in many movies, you should create an swf-file (importable) of each one, to import to later files.
