Text

Use the commands on the Text menu to modify the appearance of text on the stage:

Choose a typestyle from a list of fonts available on your computer.

Apply a new size to the selected text. Sizes range from 8 point to 120 point.

Available type styles include Plain, Bold, Italic, Subscript, and Superscript.

Use this command to set the text alignment to Left, Centered, Right, or Justified.

Letter spacing is a typographic effect sometimes used in headings and logos to increase or decrease the space between all letters by the same fixed amount.

Use the Scrollable command to make dynamic text or input text fields scrollable, so the text can be longer than the available space in the text box.

Runs Flash's spell checker on the text in the Spelling Setup window (see below).

Use the Spelling Setup command to identify the text that needs to be spell-checked, select your language, choose a personal dictionary, and set options for words you want the spell checker to ignore.

Opens the Font Embedding window where you can manage all the fonts used in your animation and make sure the proper fonts are available for your audience. For the details, see Embedding Fonts in Your SWF file.
