animate text in an arc

[lamanchica1 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi there

Can someone please help?

I want to make an animation where text, letter by letter, comes in an arc starting at the left and flows round to the right.

For example the word SUN is formed by first moving the letter N through the arc from left to right then the letter U then S.

The word SUN end up in the lower right part of the arc.

For the finished product I have a longer ser of words that will fill the arc.

Many thanks,

John

Do you have Flash John? If so, you could animate letters on a path with
Motion Guides.

In Fireworks you would have to do this manually. From the Modify >
Animation menu choose the "Animate Selection" command.

I have no other advice for you.

Good luck!
