a note to add to p_smiecho at interia dot pl's post:


when you do a $movie->add($t); it will return a SWFDisplayItem which can then be moved so your code can be simplified to this:





<?php


   $f = new SWFFont('Arial');


   $t = new SWFTextField();


   $t -> setFont($f);


   $t -> addString('Hello world!!!');


   


$m = new SWFMovie();


   ...





  $ttwo=$m->add($t);


$ttwo->moveTo(300, 300);


?>

It seems to me that there is a bug: everything works perfect but only with Linux. SWFText crashes while working on Windows. So I do it that way:





<?php


   $f = new SWFFont('Arial');


   $t = new SWFTextField();


   $t -> setFont($f);


   $t -> addString('Hello world!!!');





   $p = new SWFSprite();


   $i = $p -> add($t);


   $i -> moveto(100, 100);    // Here you can move text !!


   //$p -> remove($i);





   $m = new SWFMovie();


//   ...


   $m -> add($p);


?>





Of course it writes text where I want, but I still can't get other methods of SWFText class. For example: I can't get text width (swftext->getwidth).

For windows platform :





<?php


$f=new SWFFont("_sans");


$t=new SWFTextField();


?>





and comment the moveto line.
