Creating a Text Box

So let's get started. Open the Flash working file for your web page in progress, and find the appropriate frame and layer reserved for the content of the Resume page.

On this layer, use the to draw a text box as wide and tall as the content area of your page design; put a little text in there just to hold it static. If you can't drag the height down using the white square in the upper right-hand corner, just hit the Enter key until it expands the box downwards to the appropriate height. You can delete the line breaks afterwards, and the text box will retain its height.
