right click over your text and select break apart … the text will be separated into letters … but still text. select all the letters and right click over them … select brake apart again and now you’ll have shapes.
the problem is that if you ever want to change the text you’ll need to rewrite it :-\
ey…i have the font too!! i tested the font, and all the letters with “holes” are filled. i tried what kax do, but when i tried the break apart thing for the second time, the letters are filled again, i mean, the shapes are filled. i guess the font is Flash-unfriendly (?). i suggest that you just have to use another font, or search another font that looks like Sydnie but is working in Flash!
just break up the fonts until you have the center spots grouped, take the spots to another layer break up the remaining text then go back to the layer with the centers break it up copy and paste in place then delete the centers your font should be looking as good as new
