Is there any way to bend text along an arc? I am getting tired of typing the text, breaking it apart, rotating individual letters, then placing them around a perfect circle as a guide. there must be an easier way.

You can do it in Illustrator if you have it, then import the text into Flash.

Nope, Flash is the only vector based graphics program I have.

There is no way you can do it in flash. (except the way you discribed)  
I know that Fireworks is a very good program for that! It’s a piece a cake in Fireworks…
