The breakup
Text fields in Adobe flash animate as one unit. If we wanted to animate each character separately, we would need to separate those characters and remove them from the text field, placing them in a text field of their own. One of the challenges with this is the positioning, aligning and configuring of the text fields to sit in the correct position. By the end of this lesson, we will break our text apart and re-position it to sit in the exact same spot as we had it before.
