creating and Editing text
Finally, let’s add text to complete this illustration. Flash has two text options,
Classic Text and a more advanced text engine called Text Layout Framework (TLF)
Text. You’ll learn more about TLF Text in Lesson 7. For this project, you’ll use the
simpler Classic Text option.
When you create static text on the Stage and publish your project, Flash automati-
cally includes all the necessary fonts to display the text correctly. That means you
don’t have to worry about your audience having the required fonts to see the text
as you intended it.
