Hi guys

I need some with this AS code it is for a typewriter effect. it works well but where in the code can i make it type faster (speed).

Thanks:geek:

this.texto = “hola, que tal hermosas?”;  
this.letraIndex = 0;  
this.letras\_array = [];  
this.typeID = setInterval(this, “escribe”, 100);  
this.escribe = function(){  
var letraAEscribir = this.texto.charAt(this.letraIndex);  
//this.letras\_array.push(letraAEscribir);  
//var textoAEscribir = myString.concat(this.letras\_array);  
this.textBox.text += letraAEscribir;  
this.letraIndex++;  
}

change the 100 in this line

this.typeID = setInterval(this, “escribe”, 100);

the smaller, the faster
