flowing text within a shape

[BluegillMedia]

Does anyone know of a way to flow text within a shape like you can do in illustrator or to have an "L" shaped text box?

No, there's no such a built-in option. However, you may try to make custom wrapping. I.e. set the wrap property to false, calculate each line's length according to the shape you choose to flow the text into. And than add the linebreaks, or insert tab characters of the serain width styled with the TextFormat. Or, you may make a set of mc-s each containig 1 letter and attach them according to the calculation you've done on the shape.

For a simple "L" shape you might be able to use a HTML textField then flow your text around a right justified image. Maybe you can use a transparent PNG, not sure. Just a thought.
