    Hi,

    What a wonderful package! I am really thrilled with what you can do with just a few lines of code (as used to low level OOP).
    I try to make movie in which strings of text, which I need to read from a file, move around.
    Is it possible to do this within the Flint system?
    (I am new to Flash and still using CS3.)

    Thanks for your help,

    John

    Flint doesn't have any special classes to deal specifically with text. However, you can use any display object as the image for a particle. That includes instances of TextFields, or Sprites that contain TextFields. So yes, you can make strings of text move around.
