I was wondering if it would be possible to use copyPixel to create a simple text printer  
for example you have a font as an image like this

[http://www.mn001c7645.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/knight6.gif](http://www.mn001c7645.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/knight6.gif)  
then have some code that will transform your  
text =“hello world”  
into HELLO WORLD on your flash screen, but written in that font.

Because the font is spaced equally you could have the source x and y, times by 16pixels for each letter and move the Y source down 16 pixels when it reaches the right side of the image
