Is it possible to put a paragraph of text inside a circlular (or half circle) shape using xml loaded text via Actionscript 3?

Ideas I have so far:

- format a textfield as center justified and put all the line breaks in manually. Prefer not to do this
- Use a linked textFlow object - not sure how to do this and concerned about the extra 100K added to my final swf

Perhaps there is a class that someone has written. All advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
