610 Chapter 7 Using Text
 Mirror: Beyond the edge of the source image, the texture source is reflected like in a
mirror—duplicated, tiled, and alternately reversed to encompass the full width and
height of the text.
Animating a Texture
You can set keyframes for the offset values of the texture source to create a moving
element within text. In the following example, an image of a leopard lying in the grass
is used as the texture source for the text “leopard.”
To animate the texture offset:
1 Apply a texture to the text.
For instructions on how to apply a texture to text, see “ Using a Texture Fill ” on
page 606.
2 Go to the frame where you want the texture animation to begin.
3 Enable Record (press A).
Note: Keep in mind that when Record is enabled, a keyframe is created for any change
you make to an object in your project.
