why is it this word art crap can and has been done in Java, Flex, C/C++ and probably a dozen other languages but I can't find ANYTHING on getting word art in AS? here's another great example of what I want (notice it's done in Java):

notice the text stuff under "Decoration"....I would even settle for it being done in another language if I could somehow interface with it dynamically from my AS code! Is Java really that much more powerful than AS3 or have some capabilities/classes that AS3 doesn't that allows this to be done easily?
thx!
