For Beginners

   I spent many time  to explain tutorial for members with given screenshot examples. So, I decided to use them and write the same tutorial from my experience.

Simple Bevel Text

written by Audrone Musteikiene on October 15, 2004

   I hope you have some a basic knowledges about Flash Tools. Above you the example of simple bevel text. We will do another example with word Dom. Look at the end of page.

	Open a new document, choose size of document and background desired: Modily / Documents. Mine document is 200x100 px, background color grey. Using the text tool write a word. I wrote word Dom, color blue, size 60, Font Arial Black. It is better to use dick font.
	Select your text with black arrow, and press Ctrl+B which breaks the text into a regular object.  Now press Edit / Copy to copy the text. Then create a new layer and press Ctrl+Shift+V,  which pastes the object in the exact same place. Both the text are right over each other now. Don't pay atention, that my background is white!
	Click the dot on the keyframe of the bottom layer and change the color to black. If you close eye on the top layer, you can see the black text.
	Now (this is very important!) Stay on the first layer and click again CTRL+B. If  you do not it, you will be not able to do Modif / Shap / Soften Fill Edges. So Select Modif / Shap / Soften Fill Edges. Take  Distance 8, Step 6, and Expand. Press Ok.
	I hope, it was easy. If you have problems with tutorials, apply to  me .
	This group are about the theft of tutorials, bandwidth, web help and resources.
