    Warping/Skewing dynamic text field

    I want the user to be able to enter text and have it warp/skew...is this possible? if so, how? do you have to convert text to shapes programmatically? suggestions???

    I see text effects similar to what I want in Swish Max2, but I don't know if Swish can be sent dynamic data (ie. my text input) and manipulate it dynamically?

    thx in adv.!

    You will probably have to draw your text into a BitmapData, then use various filters on it. Notably, DisplacementMapFilter.

    You might want to look at http://je2050.de/imageprocessing/ for your image warping code, I've found it useful to generate "twirl" displacement maps filter effects.

    No time for examples now, but I may be able to code something up tonight or tomorrow. But I encourage you to just play with the classes I mentioned and see what you can come up with.
