Text attachment along the edge of a circle ???

[j4mes_bond25]

I wish to write the text "from possibility to reality" around the circle of my logo, as it an be seen from:

What I've done so far is to write the entire text "from possibility to reality" then break it apart so as to have individual letters & am now attaching each of the letter along the edge of the circle & then rotating it, etc. which is excruciatingly boring, eye-stressing & time consuming.

Is there any other easy way to do the same in Flash 8 ???

Personaly, I would use this in Freehand and import to Flash since Flash is not very capable of text layouts. The second option for you is just to do it manually, break the text and rotate each letter.

I don't know of any other way though it might be possible using a motion guide.

j4mes_bond25, do you have the whole Studio 8, or only Flash 8?

If you had the whole Studio 8, you can use Fireworks and Flash together if you wish. Not much different than using another outside app, like Xtreme, to create the effect you want.

If you do use Fireworks, create your text on the path, select your text on the path and under the Text menu select, Convert to Paths. Then copy and paste it into Flash.

Unfortunately, Flash doesn't play well with design sometimes.

I've both Flash 8 & Fireworks as well. I managed to get the desired result & did so exactly the way you mentioned.

Thanks for your time & help, in the mean time.
