Pasting "classic text" from Illustrator into Flash instead of TLF


I'm trying to paste some non-dynamic text from a mockup from illustrator into flash. This is something I've done a million times before but my new version of flash(cs5) is giving me issues. The default format when you paste text is now TLF which has a ton of problems associated with it and I don't want to use it. If I paste the text in and then change it to "classic text" it changes the layout of the text which makes me basically have to redo my text layout. Is there a way to change the way text gets pasted in and make it default to classic text?


Solution

  • I found a very quick hack to prevent this from happening. (temporarily) Set your flash publish settings to flash player 9 or lower before importing.

    TLF no-worky below version 10 :)
