Font would be really really tough… I’ll see if any of my books say anything about it though. Interesting question.

ahh… yes that would work well… the other thing that you can put in there is basic html links and such… though keep in mind that it does not change the font to a link font the way HTML would… rather you have to set the color and font differences in each instance of a link in the text.

or you could just make the text white and put it in a movie clip and include the font outline…\rthen you could attach a color object to it and have the advantage of all the color transforms.\r:) \rjeremy
