Typewriter AS Effect
OK, I got some actionscript 2 stuff that I want to make into an AS3 version

PHP Code:

typeText = "typewriter effect";
currentChar = 0;

this.createTextField("typewriter", 0, 50, 50, 0, 0);
typewriter.autoSize = "left";
typewriter.selectable = 0;

typewriter.type = function() {
this.text += typeText.charAt(currentChar);
currentChar++;
if (currentChar >= typeText.length) {
clearInterval(typeInterval);
}
};

typeInterval = setInterval(typewriter, "type", 100);

If I was to animate a text to type frame by frame then "converted it to AS" would that work too?

Sorry if there is already a thread like this, please redirect me to it if any of you don't mind?

[F8] Typewriter Effect
I have this code form gotoandlearn.com:

PHP Code:

var str1:String = "Title 1";
var str2:String = "Title 2";

var sInt = setInterval(writeIt,100);
var sInt2 = setInterval(writeIt2,100);

var count:Number = 0;
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.attachSound("type");

function writeIt() {
    if(count == 0) {
        s.start(0,1000);
    }
    name_btn.nameTitle.text = str1.substring(0,count);
    //count += 5;
        count ++;
    if(count > str1.length) {
        clearInterval(sInt);
        s.stop();


    }
}

function writeIt2() {
    if(count == 0) {
        s.start(0,1000);
    }
    name_btn.catTitle.text = str2.substring(0,count);
    //count += 5;
        count ++;
    if(count > str2.length) {
        clearInterval(sInt2);
        s.stop();


    }
}

I want to be able to feed 2 text fields, which load the strings one after each other. Currently they load at the same time. I think my duplication of the writeIt function is a bit clumsy and is where it fails.

any pointer would be good.

Typewriter Effect : But Not Exactly...
I want to make a typewriter effect but some of the type has html formatting on it.

So my question is how to i translate :
'this is some type' to one character at a time?

I am not against doing something like if it would be easier to implement:
'this is some type'

i started with this just to find out if the strings are equal. i have the field that the text should be entering to and a temporary field that would strip the html text out just so i can find out if the two strings are equal.

function typeEnter(fieldName, passString) {
temp.htmlText = passString
if (fieldName.text!=temp.text){
fieldName.htmlText = passString;
}
}

Im thinking to modify the text string and split it into an array.

Any help would be great!

Typewriter Effect
Hi people, I've search the forums and google but cant find what I'm after. What I'd like is the typewriter effect without using the timeline, so everything happens in the same frame, for example use of a function where you'd say output(message,targetmc).

thanks!

Typewriter Effect...
Hi,
i´m doing a simple banner with a typewriter effect and using this codesample(prev posted at this forum)

ActionScript Code:

obj.myTextField.text = obj.myTextField.text + obj.str.charAt(obj.num++);
if(obj.num > obj.str) clearInterval(obj.id);
}, 500, this);

It works fine when im not using characters on the textfield, but when i specify the font and ranges it doesn´t write anything.....is it som kind of bug or am i missing something here?

Help With Typewriter Effect?
I picked up some actionscript to create a typewriter effect on the web yesterday. I incorporated it into a movie, but I'm stuck on getting the movie to advance to scene 2 (I want to repeat the typewriter effect on a few different messages). I think the problem is with the actionscript in frame 3 of scene 1:

if (i>max) {
stop();
} else {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

I've tried substituting nextScene(); for stop(); in line 2, but that doesn't have any effect. As you can tell, I'm not a very sophisticated user of actionscript. Could someone please help me figure this out? I'm attaching the movie. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Mailto: And Typewriter Effect
I'm making a simple Flash movie to incorporate on a website. The Flash movie incorporates two lines of text, both with the "typewriter" effect. I have attached the "mailto:" action to both. I simply want the user to be able to click on the movie at anytime to send an email. When the movie plays on the site, the email link (hot link and the hand showing) is only "hot" for a short period after each typewriter effect has finished. Shouldn't the Flash movie be "hot" all the time?

Help...it seems so easy...

Typewriter Effect In Text
Anyone know of a good website that has a tutorial on how to do this? I wanted to make the effect like most military movies that have the time/date/and location on the bottom of the scream and that sound effect. I tried following the typewriter tutorial on here and didn't seem to work. Had some unexpected code errors.

Creating A Typewriter Effect: How Do I Do It?
I'm doing a website for a non-profit TV production house. They have an existing website using some flash at www.gntvmin.org. I'm in the process of redesigning the website. The manager came to me and said that he wanted the .swf animation from the top of the page to stay, but with some changes. The previous webmaster can no longer be contacted, and the original .fla file is not on any of the backup disks I have. I'm new to Flash, and I would like to know how the typing text effect was created. Most of the other effects in the original animation I can do since it all appears to be tweening between frames.

Typewriter Effect Im Struggling
Ok this is what i did

Made a text box and variabled it *type*

on the first frame i pasted this into it:

text = "This text is being displayed with type writer effect";
max = length(text);
loop = 1;

2nd frame i pasted this:

loop = loop + 1
type = substring(text,1,loop);

3rd frame i pasted:

if (i > max)
{
stop();
}
else
{
gotoAndPlay (2);

}

It repeats the sentence *This text is being displayed with type writer effect* once and stops.. I want to make it continue so that my stuff in frame 4and on gets played, also how would i change the speed of the typewriter effect when typing? TYTY if u can help

Advanced: if u also know this i'd love ur help, i would like that add a blinking underscore *_* when displaying the typewriter effect

Cursor In Typewriter Effect
How do i add a cursor to my typewriter effect, i would want a blinking underscore *_* infront of each letter being typed by the effect

Self Indexing Typewriter Effect
Hello everyone.

I am useing a dynamic text box to create a typewriter effect. I have a bit of a problem though, it has alot of text and i do not want a huge text box. I want a text box that is only 300wx150h is there a way to make the text index its self to the next line on its own without the user haveing to scroll down with the mouse to see anythign that prionts off the screen. It is hard to explain but the easiest example i can think of is by typing /dir in a command prompt and watch what happens. that is the exact effect i am looking for

Text Effect - Typewriter
Well i hv an external text file and wanted to load into a text box and i want it to b a typewriter effect so anybody out there can help me out.

i hv search thru this forum and i found this.

typeText = "my text" ;
typeInterval = setInterval(typeThis,80,typeText);
counter=0
function typeThis(thisString){
myTextBox.text += thisString.charAt(counter);
counter++;
if(myTextBox.text == typeText) {clearInterval(typeInterval);}
}

what i my facing now is tat my text in the text file hv too many words which means i cant just paste to the parameter of typeText. So how can i load all my texts to a varaible and execute the above scripts. If i load to a varaible i must change it to string m i right? because looking at the paramter typeText is a string field.

Or is there another way to hv a typewriter effect on loading text to a dynamix text box.

Thanks.

Another Typewriter Effect Problem
I did a search but didn't see any help to my problem.

I followed the tutorial for the Typewriter effect and didn't have any problems doing it. This is not starting on frame 1, so I didn't do the "Button" part of the tutorial. The problem I have is, when I test movie, it stops on the frame where the AS starts. Is this because I didn't add the "Button"?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike

Typewriter Effect (Right Alignment)
I'm using a typewriter effect for some text. It works fine when the text field is left justified and text appears from left to right. If the field is justified to the right, the text appears from right to left. If I have the text field justified to the right, is it possible for me to have the text appear from left to right?

Code:
function TextEffect(location){
myText = "";
type = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
myText = location;
description.text = myText.substr(0, type);
type<myText.length ? type += 2 : delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
}
Thanks

Typewriter Effect In Flash
hey all,

im sure many of you have seen this effect, and ive even seen it, but never done very well.. i've also seen a tutorial which did'nt provide this effect at all...

in this case it looks to me like all the text is loaded externally... this would be ideal for what i'm trying to achieve

if you scroll through the "work" on the right of the page when loaded you'll see the text info below the image window type in:

http://www.delete-uk.com/

anyone seen a tut? or a source file with this effect? im sure it can be done with just as

as always many thanks

Typewriter Effect & Navigation
I want the navigation of the site to play as a movie and type itself out (relatively quickly) and then act like a functioning navigation. I obviously don't want to do that letter by letter non-sense. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Typewriter Text Effect With XML

Action After Typewriter Effect
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.

Here is the script I'm using for the typewriter effect:

Code:
var q:Number = 1;
var typeSpeed:Number = 100; // time between letters in milliseconds; smaller numbers dictate faster typing
var copy:String = "Look, Ma! I'm typing in Flash!";
function type():Void {
textbox = copy.substring(0, q);
q++;
if (q == copy.length) {
textbox = copy;
clearInterval(typeInterval);
}
}
typeInterval = setInterval(this, "type", typeSpeed);
Thank you for your time and help!

Old Typewriter Sound Effect
Hey guys,
I have a form made out that is set against an old typewriter pic. I'm trying to find a way to when the user types in the space, with each key pressed, you get the sound as if you were typing on an old typewriter. Now I have the sound in a single MC, and I thought using the on keypress function would do it. I"m just not sure how to go about it correctly.

Goto After Typewriter Effect Has Been Completed
Hi,
I am using this code (within one frame) for a typewriter effect.

Quote:

TextField.prototype.typeWriter = function(str, ms) {
var me = this;
var i = 0;
var itv = setInterval(function () {
me.text = str.substring(0, i);
i+=2;
if (i>str.length) {
clearInterval(itv);
}
updateAfterEvent();
}, ms);
};
mystring = "text";
txt.typeWriter(mystring, 20);

Which code should I add to go to another frame when the text is completed?

Thanks!

Typewriter Effect: Changing Text
Hi guys,

This is in relation to this post:

http://www.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=622370

I thought people might view it more in here...

Basically, using the code in that thread, how can I change it so I can change the text when I need to? E.g. someone clicks a button and the text stops, resets, and begins to type out something else?!

Please help me! Cheeeeeeeers! =)

[AS3] How To Make Typewriter Text Effect?
I am trying to make a function where if i pass a text, it displays it with a typewriter effect! I really have no idea how to do it to be flexible enough to use with various dynamic textboxes, but thats for later, for now can any of you tell me how do i get the "blinking cursor" thing? Normally i can use a timer to append text to the box, but how do i get the blinking cursor at the end of that text being typed?

Also if you dont mind can you tell me if there is any way to pass the textbox id as a parameter to the function?

Question About Scripted Typewriter Effect 2
Hi,

I'm using te script explained for Scripted Typewriter Effect 2.
And actually I'm using it a few times. So what I've done is duplicate the movieclip where the script is in a few times and changed the 'var copy' for each one.
Only what happens is, that when I have played one movie, an other wil not begin 'typing' but just display all the text.
I guess the function has to be 'reset' or something but I really dont know how.
An other thing I would like to know is; it would be much easier to just use one movieclip and load the 'var copy' text when ie clicking a button,
I hope anyone could help me with this..

thnx
