I was curious if anyone knew a standard way to create a vector shape that can be used as a text box and also still have an editable fill/stroke option and also have the same shape be able to mask pictures. This file will be used in InDesign CS3

It needs to have those 3 functionality options

What about Flash?

Macromedia flash , it have all the three qualities which you want..

Do you have a link to an example that demonstrates what you are trying to acheive?
