Adding and Editing Text |
By pressing the Text tool on the left toolbar under the shape creation tools, the dialog window shown underneath allows you to customize the text: font, font style, size (partially shown), and letter spacing (not shown). You type your text in the large edit box. |
You can edit selected text by double-clicking on the text or right-clicking and selecting Properties. Scale, rotate, flip, and squish transformations will affect text. You cannot manipulate the points associated with a text object. If you desire to do that, convert the text to shapes with points (under Transforms). |
You can also add dynamic text which allows input from users or which can be changed as the animation proceeds. This is explained more on the dynamic text page. |
Regular text is heavily anti-aliased in the Flash player and is blurry at small type size. This problem cannot be controlled by KoolMoves. FFF Compact is a good font for small type. Dynamic text is lightly anti-aliased and is rendered exactly like text in HTML pages. |
