I have an example of what I want to do here, http://bh.skynet.ie/time.htm . When you press 'change text', a new city is displayed with it's local time (still has bugs). What I want to do is create the effect seen in airports and train stations. If you press 'change text' continuously, you'll see what I mean. Therefore, I want the text to be shuffling for about 2 seconds, a small bit of a delay. Here is some code:

I've got a Glow effect (glowIn) being applied to an object on the roll over which has a startDelay applied. I have another glow effect (glowOut) on roll out. If the user mouses out of the control during the startDelay of glowIn, I want to cancel the effect. How do I do this? In this instance, I'm using a glow effect with a startDelay of 300ms. I want a short pause before the item actually shows the effect, but I don't want the effect playing if the user mouses out during this time. I'm setting the properties as follows:
component.setStyle("rollOverEffect", glowIn);
component.setStyle("rollOutEffect", glowOut);
I don't think it matters much, but the component in question is a Series within a chart that gets created at runtime so I would prefer a solution in actionscript rather than mxml if possible.
I 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:

I've created the dynamic text box in Flash (CS3), but when I hit test, it won't show up.
After all the calculations, I should have a figure that I call totalmoney. My dynamic text box is called total. The user doesn't need to hit anything for it to appear. It just appears as part of the movie.
Here's my code:

I'm determined to have my external .txt file load into my dynamic field without ANY DELAY WHATSOEVER.
It seemed like the onLoad method of the LoadVars object would handle this nicely, however it does not work for me.
I placed the following code on the first frame of my movie:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("content.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
[Code]....
It displays fine but there's still a delay. I figured the content from my .txt file would be loaded by now (its 2KB in size and has html tags embedded).
How can I properly "preload" my external text?

View 6 RepliesI am using flash to create an animation where text, once converted into a movieclip or a button, fades at a certain point. To do this I am using the text tool and converting the text into a movieclip.
I am trying to make the text fade away by using the alpha property, but the preview will never adjust the movieclips alpha value. I've tried embedding the font and linking it but it still just doesn't work.
Can anyone tell me if there are any FREE resources for additional Text Effects for Flash 8 Pro?I've dabbled with the conventional glow, stretch, spin, rotate, blur type of transitions over the last couple of weeks, so now have an appetite to try something new.I've found some tutorials around the net on specific single effects, but would relish finding a small group of add-on effects somewhere!
View 7 RepliesThis is a follow up to the second question started on [URL].. regarding using a typewriter effect again in a new frame of the same movie.
I should also clarify, that although the effect will be the same, the output file called and xy textField coordinates and different so therefore will generate new text and position on stage. Would that be related to the URLRequest and var textField? The code again is:

All over this website you'll know the effect I'm talking about, even on the YES or NO button in the beginning.
The last I have been using Flash was around 4 years ago and I have forgotten quite a bit. I remember I used SWISH Lite to create a typing effect (as a blinking cursor is typing a line of text one by one) and later i just could take this generator animation of my text and add it to my Macromedia Flash.I have installed the new SwishMax Trial, but I really don't recognize where I have to go in order to get this text effect generator running.

View 2 RepliesI'm a web designer, but I deal with HTML, PHP, JavaScript, not so much ActionScript. I have a new client, and they've already had a website designed completely in Flash. Now they only want certain elements of it, and the rest in HTML. See, the website uses the ripple effect to make images and text look as if you were sticking your finger in water - it follows the mouse. So, I want to take 3 different smaller Flash movies out of this huge, big one. But when I do, the ripple effect no longer works. Here is the action code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var map1:BitmapData = new BitmapData(900, 600, true, 0xFF0000);
this.createEmptyMovieClip("bmp1", 10);bmp1.attachBitmap(map1, 0, "auto", true );
var blur = new flash.filters.BlurFilter(8,8,5);
[Code] .....
I know I'll need to change L2 - the 900 to whatever width and the 600 to whatever height, but that's about all I understand.
