RE: FLASH: "typing text"

[Olwage, Pieter]

Hiya ROB


You might want to use a mask to do that...


Type the whole line and then move a mask (filled block) above that line to

reveal letter by letter of the line... this mask is the only thing that

animates then (frame by frame)...


You will have to do each line on its own though ...


Kind Regards

DJT

Subject: FLASH: "typing text"



Hi flashers


I am doing a business proposal in flash at the moment and want the text to

seem as if it is being typed up!

I am sure that this is probably the oldest used effect but it serves the

purpose.


My problem is that to achieve this effect I have to type up the whole

paragraph used, insert a keyframe for every letter used and then delete the

letters not needed to create this effect.


My file size is huge and I was wondering if there was a more efficient way

to creating this effect?


Thanks in advance
