ActionScript 3.0 :: Typewriter Effect With Button To Load Next Paragraph?
Jan 19, 2012
i 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 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'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.

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;

i am still new in dealing with flash and what have you posted is very useful, but i want to ask you a question regarding the button function. i want to relate a button with a certain text but it's a big paragraph so when i have made the example on the site the display in the output box is not good enough i want the text to be displayed as a paragraph not a straight line.

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 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 some dynamic text styled with a css stylesheet. I want to be able to control the amount of space between each paragraph. I would do this with a "padding-bottom" tag for a normal web page, but this does not seem to be supported within Flash text styling.

I have been reading Learning Actionscript 3.0 for about 1-2 months now on and off and i have stumbled across a paragraph that I don't quite understand concerning the position of a navigation bar buttons.
Code:
var btnNum:int = 5;
var spacing:Number = 10;
var navBar:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(navBar);
var btn:SimpleButton;
[Code] .....
The current button is positioned horizontally (line 10), offset by the spacing set in line 2, plus the width of the button and another spacing gap for each button in the loop. Therefore, the first button is positioned only 10 pixels to the right of the container's registration point (spacing, plus zero times the sum of the width of the button and spacing). The last button is positioned 10 pixels to the right of the container's registration point plus 4 times the width of the button and spacing. The vertical position is also set, moving the button down 5 pixels. From the above quote, I understand that the button the first button is placed horizontally, but i don't understand what is after it. What the paragraph means and how it does it's position.

I have a problem where I have a flash chat room and the first thing you do is log in with a name. This works. Next it goes to a loading screen that says thank you (name) and the proceeds to a title area where you choose to either chat, check for friends or change your name. Oh and of course exit. These are all working so far, but one prob. When you hit the send btn (button) it puts the text you typed in the text area with your name first. Example: (NAME): (TEXT) Problem is it needs a paragragh space first. And I dont know the script for that.

When I'm coding action script in the Actions window of Flash, in line breaks, the paragraph symbol is present, and there are dots in all the spaces, etc., etc.
I accidentally turned this on, and don't know how to turn it off.
It's like the paragraph symbol button in Microsoft Word.
