Description

Constructor; creates a Text2Curve object based on the movie clip specified by myclip_mc parameter. This movie clip then can be used to dynamically scale or rotate text group.
Note 1: An instance of Text2Curve component must be placed on the scene in authoring environment or with attachMovie() before using this constructor.
Note 2: Used without myclip_mc parameter, this constructor creates a Text2Curve object based on a newly created movie clip. See Text2Curve.baseClip property description for details.

Example

The following example creates a new Text2Curve based on newly created movie clip. The text "Hello, World!" will be placed along a regular sine wave:

var mbc:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("new_clip_mc", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
var my_t2c:Text2Curve = new Text2Curve("Hello, World!", "Arial", 24, "cc00cc", "wave_sine", {a:50,b:1,c:0,d:0}, true, mbc);
