Create a graphic font with an outline. To add a colored
outline:
Select the text using the arrow tool, then break it apart (Ctrl + B).
Select the ink, then select a color, size and line style at the Stroke
Panel (Window>Panels>Stroke).
Click on the outside and inside portion of the letters. I sued a size
2, solid blue line.
Add a layer and import the graphic file you want to use as a fill. I used
a background image found on one the many free web graphic sites.
When the image is in Flash, select it, press Ctrl+B to break it apart, and
then select the entire image using the Eydropper tool from the Toolbox. You
will see the fill color well on the Toolbox change to the image you just selected.
Before you do anything else, select the layer with the imported image, and
then click on the trash can icon bellow the layer column to delete the layer.
Making sure the bitmap image is still in the fill color well, select the
Paint Bucket tool and click on each of the graphic letters you want to fill
with the bitmap.
If using this font in another application, Power Point or Dreamweaver, you
can export the image which converts the flash image into gif format.
