In Flash a critical component to comprehend is working with text. You would think text is text but in Flash there are three types static, dynamic, and input. With static text that is embedded into the Flash movie and you can use any text that you would like. You do not have to worry about the person on the other side having the same font installed and you cannot edit it in ActionScript (the programming language of Flash). There is an example below of static text.
The next type of text is dynamic text and it is not embedded in the flash movie but it can be. The person viewing it usually must have the font installed on their computer to view it in the movie. Input is a type of dynamic text that accepts input from the user. This could be used if you are making a web site with a Contact Us section to collect information from the user. Stay tuned for the my next entry on working with symbols.
