Hi  
I know its possible to have dynamic text added to the screen at runtime! but is it possible to then change its font, type, size, colour, drag it around the screen and even rotate it – ALL AT RUNTIME??

```
anyone know of tutorials, examples? – must be Flash 8 (don't have CS3 yet!)

thanks -manphp

```

You’re a \*\*\*\*head. I hope nobody helps you. I for one understand your question and have a simple elegant solution…but I don’t help ungrateful \*\*\*\*heads.
