Adding text 47
You can add any of these types of text using the Text tool. For this exercise,
you will add some static text to the Stage for decorative purposes. To add
static text, follow these steps:
Open the banner.fla file you created in Part 1 of this tutorial, and rename
the file
banner2.fla .
1. Select Insert > Timeline > Layer to insert a new layer. Double-click the
layer's name and type
text to rename the layer.
2.
Select the Text tool in the Tools panel, which looks like a large letter
A button.
3. Click near the top of the Stage, and type Overworked? into the field
that's on the Stage.
4. Select the text field (a bounding box appears around the text when you
select it).
5.
Open the Property inspector (Window > Properties > Properties), and
make sure Static Text appears in the Text type pop-up menu.
6. Change the font of the text to whatever font you prefer.
You change the font using the Font pop-up menu (next to the A icon,
seen in the following figure).
7. Select Bitmap text (no anti-alias) in the Font rendering method
pop-up menu.
Anti-alias options help small text appear clearly in your applications,
but it makes large text look jagged. Because you’re creating large text for
the banner, you should use bitmap text which appears smooth when
you create large text.
8.
Change the size of the font to 20 points using the Font size
pop-up menu.
Then you will need to change the font size so the text fits on the Stage.
Change text settings in the Property inspector.
