Similiar to the flash typer that used to work on flashkit

I’m going to need dropdowns for different fonts, as well as different colors etc.

I’m pretty sure this hasn’t been created yet other than at flashkit, but I’m hoping I’m wrong.

Does anyone know of a .fla I can play with to undertake this project somewhere? Or just a basic starter?

Not quite that simple, it needs to allow the user to enter whatever text they want, then they can choose the font/color/etc of it, then hit DISPLAY or another button and it will display.
