Cool Text Effect, Button Example

is there any way to show the text box only, and have it display the text from xml or txt file? I’d like to use this for my site as an text animation for intro, not as it is with input window…and also to have the text animate avery 30sec or a min. thanks great file!!!

YES OF COURSE

IF YOU HAVE DYNAMIC TEXT F .E. WITH NAME “myText” your command is:

myText.animText(textFromXml, speed);

where

textFromXml is the text which you have loaded from xml and assigned to textFromXml variable.

and

speed is the changing speed from 0 to 100

does not sound to easy for me…can I email you my file?

Look how they make it. Send to me.

thanks for the tutorial!!! I just e-mailed you the file to the email I founded on your site. Thanks again!!!

did you get my email?

Interesting…

nice – one question though – is there a way to modify the actionscript so that when you roll over the text, it goes from whatever the textfield currently says to whatever you specify in the animText function?

For example, I have a series of wallpaper sizes (1600×1200), etc. and I want to say: wallpaper1.animText(“DOWNLOAD”,2) and have it change the letters from “1600×1200” to “DOWNLOAD” without erasing all the letters first?

yes it is possible

How do I apply to effect to a line of text without having to type into the text field?

hiveaccount you must use onRollOver function and call yourDynamicTextField.animText(“your text to write”,speed:Number);
