No… but the text engine has a Path function. Just draw a mask and select the path in the text layer.

Is there any way to do this with text animated with the effect Path text?
Can’t figure out where to put the expression for its source text.

Nevermind, I found a solution, change #include for $.evalFile and put the path within parenthesis. That solves it. Not my idea, just found it.

I’m getting a syntax error, I’m on Mac, CS5 and I placed the txt file at root level to simplify the path, I’m typing this exactly: #include “/Expressions/chapters.txt” and it returns a syntax error, I also tried using ‘ instead of ” without success, can you tell me what is that I’m doing wrong?

I’ve used this in CS5 without any problems.

I got distracted while writing my last posting…. and I’m looking to IMPORT, not important! Don’t let people interrupt when you’re typing a post like this. I’m not seeing a DELETE that I can use for my own post. Apologies.

Thanks! Very helpful. Let’s step it up a notch.

I’m looking to important Chinese, Korean, Tagalog, Hindi, etc… and replace an English version of an entire project. Any words of wisdom? Ever tried this before?

Thanks.
