Flash :: Words Slide In Letter By Letter

Textfield:OnChange - Random Letter Settles On Entered Letter - Impossible?
Hey guys, is this possible?

I've got an inputfield.
OnChange Event Handler.
When someone types a letter, i want the letter to become 0, then 1, then 2, and so on until 9 and then i want the letter to be there.

And when they click on another letter, same effect happens.

so at the end if i typed, "testing", each letter scrolls 0-9 like a roll dial and settles on the letter typed.

What i've managed to do is make it work, but if i type at normal speed and not slow, i end up getting something like:

t32t43g

any ideas?!

Fading Text In Letter By Letter With Actionscript?
Hi people!

Does anybody know if it is possible to animate text via actionscript.

For example, I would like to do that good old favourite of having text fade in letter by letter.

However, breaking apart every letter and indivdually fading them in one after the other not only takes a hell of a long time, but also (with large pieces of text) would cause huge file sizes.

I thought of masking, but I can't seem to get a soft edge on the mask to enable me to make it look like it is fading in.

Sooo.....

Does anybody know how to do this via actionscript,

OR...

Does anybody know how to get the soft edge on a mask to be able to create a similar effect.

Hope you can help

Cheers

Making Text Appear Letter By Letter?
Hi

I'm new to the world of Flash, so I hope this question isn't too 'easy' or complex!

BAsically what I want to do is to have some text appear (or fade in) letter by letter; but without chaning size, colour, shape, position etc...

Is there some piece of code that will let me do this? I know I can achieve this effect using loads of masks, but i don't really want to have to do that with each individual letter!

Any hel[p would be great, thanks!

PS. Think of the telewriter on BBC Grandstand; that sort of effect

Make Text Appear Letter By Letter
Does anyone have code, or know of a tutorial, for doing this?

Sorry for asking such a non-specific question. I want to do it but I don't know where to start.

Thank you!

Text Appears Letter By Letter
Does anyone have code or a link to a tutorial or site illustrating how to do this?

Sorry for such a non-specific question. I did a search that turned up nothing. Mostly I'm seeing stuff about horizontal scrolling text.

Thanks!

EDIT: This is the second posting of this, sorry. Oddly, the first I saw the original was RIGHT AFTER I POSTED THE SECOND ONE. Anyone have any idea what causes that? Or am I going crazy? Probably the latter.

Delete Letter By Letter
I have a dynamic text field with some text for example "Hello". Previously I used this code to get typewritter effect:

Code:
typeText = "Hello";
typeInterval = setInterval(typeThis, 70, typeText);
counter = 0;
function typeThis(thisString) {
preloading_txt.text += thisString.charAt(counter);
counter++;
if (preloading_txt.text == typeText) {
{
clearInterval(typeInterval);
}
}
};
Now I would like to delete text from my dynamic text letter by letter.
How could I do that?

Only The First Letter
I'm using this code to load a external txt file into a dynamic text box

loadVariables("myLinks.txt",0);

I've turned the little '<>' html tags enable button on
problem is that this code:
&placeyear014=Leeuwarden<br>Nederland<br>2002<br>A be Bonnema

comes out as

L
N
2
A

Thus only the first letter on the row.... it does use <br> apparently

What is wrong here?

3d Letter Spin

I appreciate all help, thanks

Editing A Letter
I have created a flash that helps write apology letters. It is at http://reteaming.com/responsibility

You type in answers to questions and using your answer the program designes the letter for you. It's all quite straght forward, mostly input text, set variable, and print. Now I would like to give the user the option of editing the letter before he prints it but I haven't got the faintest idea of how to do that. I need an input field with the text of the letter (I have it as one variable) there already waiting to be edited and to be saved before printing.
Any ideas?

Letter Count

One Letter At One Press?
Hi,

I have this simple Hangman-type game.

-first there are several empty text-boxes and a picture, player tries to quess the word by pressing letters on the bottom of the screen.
-when player presses letter-buttons and if letter excists in "word", the letter is written in to corresponding empty text-box.

...right. this works.

But if there is two (or more) same letters in the word
(Like 2 times letter"p" in the word "rapper")

How can I make the code to fill only one text-box, and on the next press of the same button fill the other one. ...and then make the button invisible.

Here is the button code...
Thanks for your help, its really appreciated!

Quote:

on (release) {
_root.letterU._visible = false;

c = "U";

if (a == b) {

if (i == 0) {

Letter Typing
Is there an easy way to make the letters look like they are appearing as they are typed?

Right now I am using a keyframe for each letter. I would think that there is a diffrent way.

To see what I am talking about. go to:
http://wwwnomold.com/dvd.html

look at the words when they appear in the top right.

I am in the very early stages of making the screen so a lot is not done yet.

thanks for any help!!!

Random Letter

Flash For E-Letter?
Hello all... pretty new to Flash, although I've created a couple (pretty standard) web banners, and gone through a few tutorials. I'm also fluent in the standard "for-print" apps, i.e. Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Quark, etc. I've dabbled in Director, enough to see similarities between it and Flash.

Anyway, enough about me. I've been assigned the task of researching "e-letters", and how to create them. Does it make sense to use Flash for this? When I say e-letter, I mean sending out email that has animation, hyperlinks, etc. I've heard that html is used to do this, but I'm in over my head, so any help regarding how to use Flash to do this, or any other method, is greatly appreciated!

I'm sure I'll be using these newbie forums a lot in the coming months, so thanks in advance!

First Letter ToUpperCase()
Hey, I know that when editing a string with Actionscript, there are such object methods as toUpperCase(), toLowerCase(), etc. But let's say I wanted to only bring the first letter of a string to the upper case, how would I go about doing that?

Thanks,

Substitute Letter
I have a text box and when i press a button i want it to check for a SPACE in whatever they typed in the textbox. if there is one, change it to a _ (under score)
how is this done?

Letter Validation
Greetings all,

I have a variable that gets a value inputted from the keyboard at a different time to when this variable gets used.

What I want to check is if that value is from the alphabet only (uppercase or lowercase I don't mind). I can't use the "Key.getAscii();" command as the check isn't coming after someone has pressed their keyboard.

Thank you.

[F8] First Letter MUST Be Uppercase
Hi there!

Nowadays trend is to write everything in lowercase. Last Names, First Names, City Names, etc...
Maybe the use of computers is one of the reasons to such bad typing.

In a form, there's a lot of Input Fields to fill-in...
Is there a way in AS to make the first letter typed in an uppercase one?

I thank you in advance for the help you'll provide.

Best regards,
Gerry

Trim Last Letter
I know this is simple but how do I get the last letter of a string?

Get The First Letter Of A String?
The viewer enters text into my input box:
myInput = "apple";
If (myInput = first letter = "A") {
gotoAndPlay("apple");
}

If (myInput = first letter = "B") {
gotoAndPlay("banana");
}else{
}

????????

Random Letter
New to actionscript, The following is what I am using to select a
particular letter "a":

onClipEvent (load) {
go = true;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (go) {
x = random(122);
if ((x>=97) and (x<=122)) {
this.letter1 = chr(x);
}
if (x == 97) {
go = false;
}

I'm not sure how to script the opposite, so that a letter cycle will
exclude the letter "a" in the randomization result. I want a random letter to come up, not an assigned letter.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Letter Swarming - Possible?
HAPPY EASTER ALL!

I have a question that I am hoping someone will be able to answer or point me in the right direction of the answer.

Here is my question, Is it possible to create an effect that makes tpe on a page look as if it is lifting off and moving - swarm like - to another area?

If you look here you will see the sort of effect I am refering to - the breaks up and swarms over to present more copy.

The link is a renascent.nl movie - that I have masacarred to give you the idea - sorry renascent people!!!!

Could this be done using action scripting or would it be a manual task?

Any ideas please?
