Text wrapping effect in Flash

We have seen a lot of text wrapping effect, use properly, will give a lot of work, and now can do the effect of the tools are also very many, such as CorelDraw; FreeHand and so on, this application into the Flash how to do it? Usually we use external drawing tools such as FreeHand to do the wrap effect and then output the standard *. AI format files, and then import Flash to achieve the purpose.
What if we don't have a third-party tool like that? Can you make this effect independently in Flash? The answer is yes, although Macromedia has now sent the latest FreeHand 9 and Flash 4 as Studio, or you can now do it through external software such as Adobe Illustrator8.0. But I think there is a good reason for us to learn how to do text-sparing effect in Flash. Unless you are willing to sit at home and wait for the Flash5.0 that may combine the Freehand powerful painting function. But this time for the development of the network is too long, it is estimated that no one will do so.
OK, let's get started, take a look at the following animation example:

This rotation effect is very simple, in the Motion change set Rotate once, I believe it is not a problem for you, and the key is that we want to get the text. Like this:

When we make this wrapped text, the animation in the example can be made very smoothly! This is also where this article spends a lot of text to tell. In the process of making this effect, you can learn some Guide and Onion in turn, are you a little worried? Actually, I'm like you! Go! Mark it!
Start Flash and create a new file, and then select the Type tool to enter a character, such as "M" and then insert the key detective in the 15th place, notice how many characters are represented in the reconnaissance, and don't break the word. For example, I made the top of this wrap is 16 characters, then I will be in the 16th to insert the key, and then set Motion changes, and then right-click on this layer to select Add Motion Guide, Flash will automatically insert the Gudie layer, and then select the Circle tool to draw a circle, Size to be based on the size of the text themselves, will be the center of the circle to delete, the edge as the text to move the guide line, to set the starting point and end of the character to do a circular path movement of text, open the text in the layer of the Tweening dialog box (on the timeline of the right The Orient to Path direction item is selected and then determined so that the text is perpendicular to the tangent of the circle as it moves through the circular path.
Then the text layer of 1 to 16 to check all selected, insert the key reconnaissance (F6), so as to become an investigation-by-motion animation, delete the guide layer, now can not use him. And then this is the highlight of the content, Dot TimeLine under the

Edit multiple Frames button, then click Next to the Modify Onion markers button, in the Pop-up drop-down menu, select Onion all, so that each of the text will appear, as shown in the following figure:

Select all of them in the workspace, Ctrl + C copy, select New symbol under Insert and then CTRL + V to paste, at which point you select the Text tool to Graphic each character and replace it with the text you want. Now understand that just say don't break up the reason for it! :) After the replacement is finished press Ctrl+b to scatter, if not scattered also can, or you can also like me to change one of the characters to red embellishment.
In creating a new video clip, drag the Graphic of this circular wrap text in, and insert the key detective in the 100th reconnaissance place. 100 Recon! So much? is to make him turn slower, set Motion changes, in the rotate select clockwise or counterclockwise rotation for a week. Well, you can now drag the video clip into the scene, you can also do a proper shadow, adjust the deformation to increase the stereo effect, it is clear that the example of animation you do it!
