View 1 RepliesI'd like the words in the string to type out in the allotted time, but for some reason my function appends the first and last letter of anything in the string, so "Hello?" becomes "ello." This is not affected if I pad the text in the string with spaces, i.e. " Hello? " Nor does this work if I start count i at -1, not 0.
import flash.utils.Timer;import flash.events.TimerEvent;
var str:String = "Hello?";
var i:int = -1;var delay:int = 720%str.length;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(delay);
timer.start();
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,gotime);
function gotime(e:TimerEvent){
textbox_txt.appendText(str.charAt(i));i++;
if (i>=str.length){timer.stop();}}
check out: [URL] The typewriter effect here is very fast, much faster than when I use onenterframe to produce the effect. Does anyone know how this is done?
View 14 RepliesI'm doing a movie in flash but I need to have a cool typewriter effect in actionskript to keep down the kbs.

then with each letter fading in seprately. then after 1 second fading out again I've been searching google actionskript.org kirupa like crazy. really couldn't find anything.
I know there are a lot of different typewriter effects but none of them show how to go to another frame after the message has been typed. In other words, I'm using a script I found to simultate a message being typed out. That script action is on a single frame and stopped. What I would like help with is what to do after that message has been typed out and it should then go to another frame label.

I am using this code (within one frame) for a typewriter effect.
TextField.prototype.typeWriter = function(str, ms) {
var me = this;
var i = 0;
var itv = setInterval(function () {
me.text = str.substring(0, i);

i am creating an e-learning tutor which teaches music theory & each scene will teach a different subject of Music (such as a notes, scales, clefs etc).
I have a textbox on the stage which loads text from an external txt file.... and each time the user presses the 'forward_btn' i would like it to load the next paragraph of text but im not too sure of how to implement the next paragraph button.
ActionScript Code:
forward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadNextParagraph);
var myText:String;
var counter:int = 0;

I'm completely new to AS3. Being completely new to actionscripting I found a tutorial on how to create a typewriter effect, which I have successfully made into a movie clip. My problem is that I want to stop the movie for the typewritten text to appear and make the movie pause for a pre-defined number of seconds and hereafter continue to the next scene or frame or whatever is the most easy.

View 1 RepliesFor the typewriter effect, I'm trying to add a typewriter "click" sound every time this function (within a class) writes a letter:
private function setLetter(n:Number) {
var correctLetter:String = text.charAt(n); var part1:String = text.substr(0, n); temp_text = part1 + correctLetter + cursor;

I'm new at Actionscript 3 and I have a problem that should be simple but it's got me completely stuck. I want to create a typewriter effect with my text and have each character make a sound as it appears on screen. I already have the typewriter code itself but I need to figure out how to put sound in it. Here is the code I have so far.
var str:String="This is my text";
var i: unit=0;
var timer: Timer=new Timer();[code].....
I'm having an issue when I'm trying to load new text into a typewriter function before it has finished writing the first text.
Code:
TextField.prototype.typeWriter = function(str, ms) {
var me = this;
var i = 0;

View 2 RepliesI've got a dynamic text box which imports it's content from an xml file.I now need to create an effect so it looks like that text is being written. There are many ways of doing this with static text I know but the question is: is it possible to create the effect with dynamic text?
View 3 RepliesI know how to make a type writer effect ...Im having trouble adding textFormat to it as it types though each time a new letter is added it clears the Formatting...does anyone know a way around this? I tried using htmlText = "<b>asd</b>"but then it fails to recognise the tags since its loading one letter at a time, i made and algorithm to recognize a tag and put the whole tag into the htmlTx....but that didnt work either.

View 3 Replieshow to add fade effect to a dynamic text field
View 2 RepliesI am trying to get a ' Typewritter effect ' on a dynamic text field that imports txt from external txt file. Trying to decipher some code I found in an example that created typewritter effect but text was declared in strings and not reading from external txt file. So I am trying to adapt it some. The effect works but when it runs it only displays my text field instance name and not the actual text from the txt file.

I'm trying to create a textbox that loads external text and, upon loading, displays the text like its being typed.In addition the new letters fade from white to a shade of blue, and lastly as the letters are being typed a sound clip is played per typed letter
View 2 RepliesI really like the text effect Pom used in the footer contest, and would like to use the same grid-type method of creating mc letters but with a different effect. i understand how to change the parameters and shapes of the letters, but can't seem to figure out which piece of code is purely for the explosion effect. basically, i want the letters but with the 'Repel' effect from[URL] here is Pom's AS:

cellSize=3;
radius=10;

I am still using flash MX. I'm pulling random text from a textfile (array.txt) into movieclip instance textbox.[code]All is good, but now my question is if I can have a text effect as well. For example having the random quotes typed out as they appear.
View 16 RepliesHi,
I'm trying to create a not that ordinary typewriter. The thing is, that I wan't it to ease. So I just thought that I could use: speed^0.5, but it really doesn't seem to affect the speed?
The idea is, that the first part of the text is written into the textField very fast, and then it types slower and slower...
This code works, but there's no easing, don't now if there's an easy way to add that:
[AS]TextField.prototype.typewriter = function(stringy, func) {
var myText = this;
var i = 0;
var intv = setInterval(function () {
myText.text = stringy.substring(0, i);
i += 2;
if (i>stringy.length) {
clearInterval(intv);
}
updateAfterEvent();
}, func);
};
var mystring = "here goes the text";
var speed = 10;
txt.typewriter(mystring, speed);
[/AS]Thanks, Morten

I'm trying to make a ticker that should show my message as a "typewriter". But it behaves very strange... see attached swf. I have never worked with Flash/actionscript before, so it might be something very simple
This is my code:
var n:Number=0;
var txt:String = "testing ticker";
var len:Number = txt.length;
function tick(){
if(n<len){
txt_bussgods.appendText(txt.charAt(n)); n++;
setTimeout(tick, 1000);
}else{
stop();
}}tick();
I wanna create some sort of actionscripted typewriter which loads its content from an external file, but i can't seem to get the code to work properly!
This is what i got till now:
2 layers:
- one with a textfield called 'textbox'
- one with the actions
A textfile which contains: waarde=Wannaloadtextfromanexternaltextfile!
4 frames, in the first frame i load the textfile this way:
[AS]q = 1;
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt",this);
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]...
The problem is that when i assign the value of "text" in the first frame this way : <-- text = "Wannaloadtextfromanexternaltextfile!"; --> (witout the comment tags ofcourse) the typewriter works fine but when i load the var from the textfile nothing happens, the trace works fine and displays the contents of the var but the typewriter displays nothing.
the weird this is that when i add this after all the code in frame 1 it works fine: text = "azerty";
But when i add this it doesn't: text = "a";
So when i overwrite the var with the azerty value suddenly it contains the correct value in the next frame, when i assign only one character to it the script doesn't work anymore.
Does anybody know how to apply this text effect [URL](including the blinking underscore) to a text field that loads from an external .txt file.
