Hello and thanks for lookin at my thread!  
I have never worked with text in in AS before (ie loading text via AS) and so I need some direction if someone is willing to give some. 🙂

I am loading pictures onto the stage via an array and some loaders. I want to add text to each image. Not sure where to start… I sure I can figure out how to position them once I know how to load them. But thats the part I need help with - the loading part.

I have 9 different images on the screen at once and each one needs a name that I can specify the size, font, color etc. They are not changeable by the user.

If you need me to provide you with my code I can do zat.

Can you pls give me some pointers of how to do this - even some direction like look up “blah” on the internet for some tutorials.

I was googling it for a while but did not find what I was looking for.

Thanks in advance.
