I have a long column of text set Roman and Bold originally in InDesign CS2.
I intend to use the type as a dynamic vertical scroll within Flash. But I cannot retain the type styles!
I have:
- saved the original ID text files as .jpg, .png and find the reproduction inferior to Flash set type. (importing.pdf files into flash looses characters!). Flash cannot read .eps or ID files. So I tried copy and pasting original ID text into Flash.
It looked good but the bold style was converted to roman.
- There is no way in Flash I can find to convert selected single lines to bold!
I have tried highlighting a line and selecting Text>Font the bold font; - all text becomes bold! I have highlighted a line and used the Properties Style Bold button; - All text becomes bold! Apparently I cannot select a line of text without the whole text block becoming live.
Can anyone give me a solution?
- My choice appears to be A. re-type all text in Flash or B. Place text in xml file linked to the scroller.
I would like to know the easiest option in the opinion of you more experienced Guru’s. All comment welcome.
