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.

I would like to use the typewriter effect (Daniel Skovli, Tutorial 36) using an external text file...is that possible? and can I set the typewriter to run as soon as it's loaded without having to use a button?
View 14 RepliesI've seen it done on sites, and it's totally baffled me. And I'm not talking about those nifty effects where the line twists, and flexes when it bounces back to it's original size, I'm stuffed just with making a straight line have an elastic feel.Here's what I want to do.Have the bottom of the line anchored, and the top part linked to an object which I can move with the mouse. Moving that object will not only stretch or shrink the line, but it would also change it's angle based on where the object is.

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.

It responds to the cursor and was wondering if it is posible to modify the x_position and y_position actions and make the action respond to a moving object???? (a movieclip with a variable name)

I want to be able to make a movie clip (that acts as a button) so the roll over effect finishes before the roll off effect is triggered. Like if a marker circles a button, i want the circling animation to stop before the roll off effects happens. Anyone know how to do this.

Several months ago I created this, The Halo Galactic Map. After talking with a lot of people on their opinions and such, I wanted to take it to the next level and replicate the map found in Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 shown here.
Based on my knowledge of Photoshop and some... and by some I mean very VERY little Flash... I took it upon myself and another member of the community to create this.
All was going well until the member decided it wasn't his cup of tea. Basically, he didn't like that he couldn't do it well enough.
Ok, so I've installed Flash and tooled around with it for a bit, but I want to get going. I know this isn't the best place to post this thread - I know there are probably better places - but I just wanted to know where and what to begin with. I have the whole thing planned out in levels, layers, and motion...
onEnterFrame=null, onEnterFrame=undefined & delete onEnterFrame....
Which one to use??? What are the performance considerations. If all my movieclips on-stage are running a MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {run initial stuff before setting onEnterFrame=null/undefined... }, will there be performance hits? It's sad that delete onEnterFrame doesn't work unless I delete the prototype enterFrame as well, which would make the clips reinitailise itself again once you declare the enterFrame prototype again (i need to do this since there's more movieclips that end up appearing on-stage, and they need to automatically initialises themselves the moment they appear).

My question is, does a better, faster CPU necessarily equal faster SWF compile times? Or does it rely on something else (OS, memory, etc). I only use AS3 and some of my projects take a while to compile. If certain hardware can guarantee me a faster compile time, it'd be worth including those things in my shopping list.

View 1 Replieshow to animate the effect where the background changes from blue stars to yellow stars? I can see it's done using masks, but I'm stuck trying to animate the 360 degree effect which I suppose would be like an animation of a circle getting thinner and thinner, radiating out from the centre.
