Miscellaneous flash junk that I want to remember
Thanks ... thats a nice workaround.
You're welcome.
Isn't this line backwards? mask_mc.setMask(text_mc);shouldn't it be text_mc.setMask(mask_mc);Just noticed, thanks for the help tho!
No. If anything I just have them labeled wrong. text_mc will indeed become the mask so the gradient box shows through, giving the illusion of gradient text. This doesn't work anymore with CS4, though.
Do you know how to do it with CS4? I'm having trouble finding anything.
It's been simplified in AS3 CS4.mask_mc.mask = textBoxtxt;where mask_mc is a movieclip with a gradient fill in it and textBoxtxt is a dynamic textbox.
