Convert text to image

[Simon Pinn webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I need to be able to manipulate text (that was inputted by the user into a text - or field member) as if it was an image. Can you somehow turn a text member into a bitmap or other type of image.

Your lucky day. This uses a text cast member not a field. Just change the
optional items to suit your needs.

on CreateText
textMemberImage = member (someTextMemberNum, optionalcastnameornum).image
newImg = image (textMemberImage.rect.width, textMemberImage.rect.height,
32)
newColor = member (someBitMapMemberNum, optionalCastNameOrNum).color -- or
this can just be an RGB value
newImg.fill (textMemberImage.rect, newColor)
newImg.setAlpha (textMemberImage.extractAlpha ())
newImg.useAlpha = 1
mem = new (#bitmap, member (someBlankMemberNum, optionalCastNameOrNum))
mem.image = newImg
mem.name = "give the member a name here"
end

Hi, this is a long shoot!

I need to get text posted from a webpage to a image.
The text needs to be displayed with fonts that I can't use in a webpage.

This is to be used submitting textadds from the web, later to be published
in a newspaper.
The image it self will not be published, I need it to calculate the price
for the add.
There for I need it with the fonts used in the newspaper.

Don't now if this is the right group!

Thanks!
Magnus
