Text Transformation Effect

This tutorial will show you how create transformation text effect, on a simple way in flash 8. You don't have to use Action Script to create this tutorial. You will also learn how to use Flash Filters in Flash 8 and more.




Step 1

Create a new flash document, choose Modify > Document (Ctrl+J) and set Width to 350 and Height to 100px. Frame rate set to 26fps (Frames per Second).

Step 2

Take the Text Tool (T), under Fill Color set this color: #CECECE, open the Properties Panel (Ctrl+F3), and under font, set Trebuchet MS, size 47.



Then, type any text. For this example I'll type of course Toxiclab.org :)
