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:
[AS]
cellSize=3;
radius=10;
damp=.85;

and here is the .fla using the repel effect using pre-made mc:
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 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:

recreate this text effect? http:[url].....Here's my version: http:[url]....
http:[url]....The trained eye can probably see that the original version looks much better. Why is that? Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong, or could this text have been made using a different technique?(whether I use Flash or Photoshop shouldn't matter as their text effects are pretty much identical)

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 RepliesDoes anyone know how to make an LED scrolling text effect? This is the best way I can describe it as I don't want scrolling text in the normal way, I want it to be on one line moving right to left with very few characters. Like you might see in an elevator or shop window on an LED scroller.
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.
I recently view a Lee Brimelow Tutorial on a Write on Text Effect in Flash 8 AS2. I learned a little AS2 when first learned flash 2 years ago, but one CS3 came out I focused on AS3, so I am not fluent enough in both to translate.

I'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?

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 have the following code but it only works when published for flash 6 and I need it to work for flash 8.Ive tried to tweak it but cant get it to work.I think it would be best if I could make a function out of it - ie:call the function like:myTextbox.textEffect("this is some decoding text");My actionscript is coming along but Im still learning.
Code:
myString = "this is some decoding text";
charDisplay = myString.length;
