I'm not familiar with Illustrator's Make Compound Object feature, but you could try bringing the text in as an image, doing a very high quality 'trace bitmap' then filling the new vector graphic with a gradient.

Is there a Flash equivalent to Illustrator's Make Compound Object feature? I have some Illustrator text that I converted to paths, and brought in to Flash. I'd like one radial gradient to span over all the letters. I know I can do this with a mask, but is there simpler way, thus avoiding a mask? - Michael M. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com This e-mail and its attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee(s) and may contain privileged, confidential or proprietary information.
