can you take what David said, only actually skew the text/object with
the free transform to give the illusion of 3D depth...ie: make the
top of the text thinner and the bottom wider. this will give the
perception of the top of the text going back into space and the
bottom being out towards the viewer. I did it in Illustrator...so I
figure you can do it in Flash. now, animating it that way might be
trickier...

Couldn't you just stick a TextField inside of a MovieClip then use a

The effect is not just skewing. It *is* 3d, in the meaning that the
perspective is distorted because the middle points are moved away
depending on the angle. So yes, your faster/best bet would be to
use any
3d class such as Papervision3D. It should be fairly simple as you'll
just need a rotated plane with the content of a movieclip
projected on it.
