Re: FLASH: tracing problem

[Gregg Caines]

A couple of things first:

1) I haven't run across a font-type that photoshop can handle, and Flash

can't.  The best way is to use the font in Flash.


2) Freehand should support as many fonts as Photoshop, so now I'm really

confused.  Are you doing some kind of effect on the text that can only be

done in photoshop?  Is it an effect that resists tracing?


I guess my suggestion is that you do it in Flash, or Freehand, if possible.

If not, then you should try tracing it by hand in Flash on a blank layer on

top of a locked layer containing the image.
