i cant seem to get flash to outline my text lettering. is this an option that has been neglected by macromedia? i cant color tween text either. seems like u cant do that much with text in flash. am i just a dumbass that cant figure it out? or has it been left out? i’m trying to outline the text in this link

First : of course you can’t color tween : it’s a mask
Second : You could try to put the same text under, only a little bigger. It could create the effect. I’m not sure. I don’t know how to explain that. Does that make any sense to you ?

Well… if you break the text apart you can color tween.

either shape, by using one fill color on the first keyFrame, and then a second fill color on the second keyframe, OR with motion by using the effects panel; selecting one color for the first keyframe and then a second for the second.

On something like that breaking apart the text shouldn’t be a problem… also would solve any outline problems. It would only be impossible to do if you wanted to keep the text editable.
