Very interesting and original … can you pad the area around the object so that the text doesn’t get masked at all?

An Actionscript 2 class that allows you to reflow text around any number of irregular shaped MovieClips.
For the complete documentation go to: http://polygeek.com/liquid-text
And here are a few more examples: http://polygeek.com/468_adobeflash/actionscript_liquidtext-example

I’m going to create an AS3 version soon.

If you want to control the padding I’d suggest using a MovieClip with _alpha = 0.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I like making people say, “Wow” or even better “AWWHH”. That’s incentive enough to write code like this. 
Just for kicks and giggles I have linked to some more examples on polyGeek.com

amazing
Never saw this and did not even know this is possible and I have quite a bit of experience with flash but not as3. . .
which brings me to the question: is this as2 compatible?
