For 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;
[code].....
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].....
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 doing a movie in flash but I need to have a cool typewriter effect in actionskript to keep down the kbs.
[Code]...
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 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.
[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();
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 4 RepliesI'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;

I am using this code (within one frame) for a typewriter effect.

var itv = setInterval(function () {
me.text = str.substring(0, i);

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.

View 1 RepliesI 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.
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 RepliesHow to import sound with AS? Cuz i have tried it and my sound just wount play. Can you explain me where my sound should be and what is the as code for importing cuz i use

I am very very new to flash...I created a quick little slide show...in which I want to add to add an mp3 file too...the slide show works as such.. Each frame has a picture and next button, so when I test the movie. The pictures are stopped, I click the next button and it
goes to the next frame......pretty straight forward. How do I add sound? I just want the music to start when I open it, and stop when the slide show is over.
The funny thing is...if I insert music into a file with no buttons and just let it stream (and stop on the last frame) it works great, the music plays...Only now that I have a movie with buttons, it doesn't even start. I have been thumbing around the actions panel, but for the most part I'm lost.
adding a simple sound to a movie with AS? I'd prefer this, since I already have simple "Roll On", and "Roll Out" script in place.
I have imported the sound file. In Properties, under Label, I have named it "tire_squeal". (Also, created a layer within the movie, and dragged the file onto the stage - all done.) Is this necessary when using Actionscript, or not?
The sound file loaded into my Library is named, "tire_screech.wav"
I want the sound to load "stopped", then play OnRollOver, and quit OnRollOut. (See previous AS code in string.)
so i am making a spinner and i want it to be like a see and say toy. How would i go about adding sound so that when the spinner lands on the picture that the sound will play. I have pictures and I have sounds. how would i do this?

But it didn't work very well. When i pressed the "space" key it played the sound like 20 times untill it stopped.. It just continued to play the sound. Preview:megaswf(.)com/serve/1031811

I have an older program that I need to update. In it I there is a movieclip that displays text. Embedded in that movieclip is a timer that makes the text disappear after a few seconds. Everything worked fine before when I was using flash to put the clips on the stage. Now I need export the symbols and use addChild to display them. My problem is that the timer is starting when I assign the clip to the variable (frame 1), not when I need it to; which is after I add the child (frame 70-ish). If I were starting over there is probably a million simple solutions to this, but I am trying to not rework everything I already made to fix this seemlingly small problem.
