LiquidText example
February 11th, 2008 . by polyGeek
I’m about to rewrite my LiquidText class in AS3 but first I thought I’d apply some of the code optimizations to the AS2 version and add some API calls to adjust settings just in case someone wants to use it.
Here’s an example of it in action below [ download FLV | download LiquidText.as ]
Essentially, what LiquidText does is it takes the text that you give it and breaks it down into an array of the individual words. It then finds a place where it can put the first word within the area that you specify without hitting any of the shapes that it wraps around. Then it places the following words until it runs out of space on that line. Then it wraps to the next line and starts the process over again.
If something here has proved valuable to you then feel free to drop a couple of bucks in the tip-jar.
