Summary

This chapter covered a lot of things you can do with text in Flash from drawing text fields on the stage all the way to creating them in ActionScript with images, tables, and even some JavaScript. We also went over the best ways to format the text. Cascading Style Sheets are the best way to go because they make it easy to update multiple text fields without ever having to open Flash. And we briefly covered how to support text in multiple languages.

The next chapter will go over Components and how they can make your life easier and your development process shorter.
