A client has asked me to wrap text around a picture on the top right of the homepage. Can this be done. To be honest, I can’t remember ever seeing this in flash. I have done a search for tutorials on google etc but found nothing. I am also including a picture so you can see exactly what I mean.

I use flash mx 6 - NOT flash mx 2004

Thank you

You would have to do that by manually aligning the image and the textfield(s).  
So i guess its not worth the trouble.

_edit_ Oops, claudio beat me to it! _edit_

I’m not sure if there’s a different way to do this, but you might be able to fake it with tables!

thanks guys but seraph told me in a chat room that its possible to do it with actionscript, but also said it is difficult to do.

Irhb,

When you say tables, what do you mean? tables in html? I am using flash.

Thanks

Oh I’m sorry!

For some reason I thought you wanted to wrap text around an embedded flash movie in an html page @\_@

I’d recommend doing it like Claudio said, manually aligning things, if the text is static and the layout and font size won’t change…

Thats ok, and yes, I’ll probably have to do it manually with a couple of static text boxes if no one writes in with a script.

Thanks again.
