Mirrored scrolling text - How

I would like to make text mirrored and then scroll around a bend to display correctly.

  1. Is this possible using a text box containing a word or should I break it up into letters?

  2. Would it be better to Motion Path it or AS it somehow?

Forums dont have anything on mirrored text or folding text that looks like it might work.

Any way it is raining like mad dogs in TX and what else would I be doing.

I don’t really understand, but I would say break it up into different movieClips and then tween them the way you want.

In as, you could give it a negative _xscale or _yscale to flip it upsidedown and/or backwords.

Ill give the AS flip a whirl.

You can scroll a movie clip. Change your broken apart text into a movie clip and assign it as the contents of a scroll pane. Turn off or on the scroll axis you want. You’d need to edit the AS in the scroll bar to sync it with the scrolling text that is not mirrored.

I don’t think raw text can be warped (it can be scaled out of proportion) so what you are asking would be impossible if your mirrored text is dynamically loaded.

Or maybe it’s not, actionscript is a wonderful thing…
