Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how to make text look and move in perspective? I would like to apply perspective to text the same as perspecive in Photoshop, is it possible?

PS: WITHOUT BREAKING APART and using distort (as file size increases profoundly)

Thanks in advance,

dfx

I have a cartoon I’m working on that I needed to do that because I wanted to have a StarWars like effect with a paragraph of text in the beginning. I had to do it in PS and import it in as a gif. I believe there is no way to ‘distort’ text in Flash. Only resize, rotate, and skew. Sorry.

Actuallly you CAN do it but it’s a pain in the butt. Basically, you have to cut it in little slices and manipulate the slices to make it look OK…

That’s true, like break it apart and skew. Not so much fun for my paragraph ordeal…

I am searching for the same thing…cause with the skew you can only pull it to one side or the other…not both like you need to in order to fake perspective.

If anyone does figure this out please post!!

Thanks :whistle:
