I need to dynamically distort user input text to fill a limited set
of shapes. For example, the user might type in "WINNERS" and select a
shape like the Arc d' Triomphe (flat-topped arch), and the tops of
all the letters would be flat but the bottoms would be curved. This
is more than just putting text on a curve -- it requires actually
distorting the individual letters. Nike has something similar to this
(but not exactly) on their custom uniform builder. See
http://www.niketeam.com/v2/new/Builders/Baseball/check_flash5.asp and
move through the steps until you reach the "Select Name Style," after
which you'll see the effect I'm after. Somehow they are able to skew
the letters, though they're not actually distorting any straight
lines into a curve, and all the letters keep the same height.
Anyone know of something like this? Especially Flash 7-compliant?
Thanks.
Marc Hoffman
