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);

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?

I am trying to use the typewriter text effect with text loaded externally from an xml file.It keeps returning 'undefined.
View 2 RepliesI 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.

Is it possible to increase the space between characters typed in the AS below? Doing it in the text panel of the letter mc breaks the effect.[code]

View 1 Repliesi 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;
[Code].....
I'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();}}
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.

Hi,
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 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 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'm having an issue when I'm trying to load new text into a typewriter function before it has finished writing the first text.

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.
I have an swf, lets call it 1.swf, that has a button that calls another swf to level one. In that second swf, lets call it whatever.swf, on layer 1 it has an flv file of about 40 seconds. on layer two it has a button that has this action:
on (release) {
unloadMovie(1);
loadMovie("../swf/1.swf", 1);
}
So if that button is pushed, then it unloads whatever.swf as I need it to.
the problem is that if that button is not pressed, then when that 40 second flv finishes, it just sits there with a black stage and the button. What i need it to do is that when that 40 second flv is finished, it automatically unloads whatever.swf on level 1, again showing 1.swf on level 0.
Also, before anyone anwers, the way i did the flv is that in whatever.swf the flv was imported to the stage, i slected the "already deployed" put in the URL and then it created a flash video component which is on the stage.
I'm loading a bunch of swfs into my movie and when they are finished loading I need to change each swfs color based on my xml data. My problem is when my Event.COMPLETE fires I don't know which loader it belongs to to retrieve the correct xml. I've tried giving my loaders names but I can't seem to access the name from the Event.Complete function. My trace causes the error: Property name not found on flash.display.LoaderInfo and there is no default value. How do I access my loader name?
for(var w3:int = 0; w3<cartXML..item.length(); [code].....

View 2 RepliesI have tried to import a movie into Flash 8 and the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred". It will not pu the movie on to the stage. Do you think there is something wrong with the movie file or am I missing a step? This is what I do:
1) open a new flash file
2) file - import video
3) browse to find the movie file and then click next
4) Click the option 'progressive download from a web server'
5) I dont change any of the default settings and I don't want a skin on it
6) It runs through like it is making the file and then the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred".
I am trying to create a video that can be streamed on a website. The video started with a screen grab of the video on frame one. This has the action on stop();. When this screengrab is clicked, gotoAndStop(2); is fired and the timeline moves to frame 2 and the video starts to stream. All is well... Except from when the video finishes...
When the video finishes I have tried using the code
on (complete) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
To go back to the origonal screen grab on frame one but it doesnt seem to budge.

I am getting some strange results while loading large files dynamically, and testing my movies.

Is this going to be the case online? (difficult for me to test right now) Is there a way to break off the loading once it has begun? (I thought by deleting the object that called the loading function, I would end the loading)

I have been using this tutorial to get RPG text boxes in my game. So far, so good. The RPGtext.as I'm using comes from that tutorial, and hasn't been altered, while I'm calling the var arrays containing the character speeches from yet another document class. Something like this:
[Code]....
The dialogue begins and it's all good. Now, here's my dilemma: Is there a way to "shut down" the rpgText movieclip when the Dialogues.d1 has no more text to provide? Each time I press the rpgText movieclip, it refreshes with new text, but when it reaches the final text, I want to be able to press it and make it go away (remove movieclip from scene, something like that).
I tried the "if (Dialogues.d1.length == 0)", but it doesn't work. Is there a way to detect if the Dialogues.d1 has reached its final sentence? Will it be necessary to alter the rpgText.as?
I have a slidshow inside of a flash page. It works great on my desktop, but when I upload it to a server I get the infamous Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed. I initially assumed that I must have missed uploading a file, so I uploaded the whole folder, Photoshop files and all, thinking that I could start deleting things until I found the culprit. But even after I uploaded everything that I have, the browsers still gave me the same error with no slide show. I'm wondering if my call to the .swf (from inside a .swf) needs to be different on a server.[code]...

It has something to do with the .xml file which I load in AS here:
