Can't see why not. As to the necessary effort required? Well unless you are an AS3 person ( which I'm not ), then probably a size-ably large chunk of time, patience, thought, helped along by a quantity of coffee/tea/alcohol/biscuits or whatever happens to be your comfort poison should do you. :o) The As3 getTextRunInfo (TextSnapshot.getTextRunInfo method), http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00002292.html gives you the metrics of the static text characters. Once you have those, drawing a suitable shape round one or more should be relatively easy. Good luck! Regards, Chris.
