For Your Information: Tagging Text for Export to Flash
You can export text from Illustrator to text in Flash as a static, dynamic, or
input text. Before you export the text, you need to tag the text first. By de-
fault, text is set to static, which is converted to regular text in Flash. Dy-
namic and input text have similar properties in Flash and Illustrator, which
you can update and edit. To tag text in Illustrator, select a text object, click
Flash Text on the Control panel, click the Type list arrow, and then click
Static Text, Dynamic Text, or Input Text. Enter an optional instance name,
specify a Rendering Type, and then select text options: Selectable, Show
Border Around Text, and Edit Character Options. For dynamic text, you can
specify a URL and target. For input text, you can specify a maximum num-
ber of characters.
