    i want to know how to make a dynamic text in arc shape ..
    and should have to change the font and size on selecting the values from a combobox
  2.  
    now where do you think you are? in photoshop?
    if you want in arc shape then you'd probably have to do it by actionscript.
    Create textbox for each letter, and place it in the form of a arc.
    The size and font are properties of TextFormat.
    read the help for that

    The simplest method is to make a make a movieClip of a textbox, give the textbox a variable like tCharacter.

    Export the movie clip for use in actionscript give it a name say mcSingleCharacter

    Split the user entered characters into an array.

    Loop through the array with these steps:


    var sCurrentCharacter:String = "a"; //this will be the current character

    this.attachMovie(
        'mcSingleCharacter', 'mCharacter1', this.getNextHighestDepth(), {
       _height:80,
       _width:90,
       _y:200,
       _x:90,
       tCharacter: sCurrentCharacter
       }
    )


    As you go through each character you will have to change the width, height, x, and y values of the init object. Also the second parameter (character1) has to be unique for each instance.
