To add text to display the names and descriptions of the specials:
1. In the Timeline, select Frame 10 on the Text layer.
2. In the Tools palette, select the Text tool and create a text field below the first masked
specials image.
3. This text field will display the name of the special whose image is currently being displayed.
With the text field selected on the Stage, make the following changes in the Property inspector:
o Select Dynamic Text from the Text Type pop-up menu.
o Select Verdana from the Font pop-up menu.
o Select the Italics text style option.
o Set the font size to 10.
o Select Bitmap (no anti-alias) from the Font Rendering Method pop-up menu.
o Type title in the Var text box. This is the variable name assigned to the dynamic
text field.
Create another text field below the first one to display a short description of the specials being
viewed by the user.
Using the Selection tool, resize the text field so that it's about three times as tall as the other text
field.
