Re: FLASH: Another Illustrator Question

[Phil Ward]

Hi Eric,


Create text>convert to outlines>have gradient as fill colour(this will fill

the individual characters with the gradient)>select gradient tool and click

and drag across text (this will apply the gradient across all the text as if

it were one object.


Having said all of the above, it is a lot easier to follow the other

suggestions given and do it in Flash!
