Setting dynamic and input text options

The Property inspector lets you specify options that control the way dynamic and input text appears in the Flash movie.

To set options for dynamic and input text:

1 | Click inside an existing dynamic text field.
| To create a new dynamic text field, see Creating text.
2 | In the Property inspector, make sure Dynamic or Input is displayed in the pop-up menu. Do any of the following:
| For Instance Name, enter the instance name for the text field.
| Choose Multiline to display the text in multiple lines, Single Line to display the text as one line, or Multiline No Wrap to display text in multiple lines that break only if the last character is a breaking character, such as Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
| Select the Render text as HTML button to preserve rich text formatting, such as fonts and hyperlinks, with the appropriate HTML tags. For more information, see Preserving rich text formatting.
| Select the Show Border button to display a black border and white background for the text field.
| Select the Selectable button to enable users to select dynamic text. Deselect this option to prevent users from selecting the dynamic text.
| For Variable, enter the variable name for the text field.
| Select Character. In the Character Options dialog box, enter characters in the text field or select options for embedding font outlines: No Characters, All Characters, or one of the specified subsets. Then click Done.
