how to make text in a oval shape?

Hello,

I want to place text in the schape of an oval or a circle ? Is this possible? how please? :confused:

I've searched in the help but couldn't find it.

thanks in advance!

greetz!

If you have Freehand, you can create this effect in Freehand in import it into Flash.

Hope this helps.

yes,

I thought I could do it the way you said, but I was wondering if Flash has a build-in function for this kind of text effects...

but I'll import the text from another program...

thanx!

you can insert your text and then go to: modify - break apart, do that two times convert text to paths. Then with the text selected go to: modify - transform - envelope. it should give you a free transform box with some extra control handels. you can pull the handels to give a rounder shape, it can be tricky if you dont know how to use the pen tool.
