How to insert textual content in a flash template

Basically there are 3 types of text fields in the flash that you can create, these are static text, dynamic text and input text fields.

1. Static text (as its clear out of its name) display uneditable text fields. Uneditable in sence that its content cannot be changed dynamicaly during flash animation.

2. Dynamic text can be updated dynamically while playing the flash movie. It can take its values from variables, usually from xml (.txt) sources and so on. Text fields having the selectable feature are dynamic fields.

3. Input text is used for different types of forms. In general, these forms work as usual HTML forms.

Use Text Tool to add a new text line.

Use Properties bar to set the type of the text, font, align, color size and some other parameters for your text boxes.

In general thats all. Hope this article regarding adding the text to the flash was helpful. You will need it when you start customizing your template. All you will have to do is to find layer containing the text and replace it with your own one. Pretty easy, right?
