I have found some awsome AS for a typewriter effect. I followed this tute

[http://www.sitepoint.com/article/1067](http://www.sitepoint.com/article/1067)

and got exactly the effect I am going for.

But now the problem is that I cannot get the coding to work for multiple and simultaneous text fields to write in at once. One is just fine. No problems there, but as soon as I try and add another, it either doesnt work, or both text fields write out the same text. 🅰

I have tried putting all the coding part into its own seperate movie, but that doesnt work at all. It works when I play the movie that it is in, but when I place that mc into the main movie, nothing happens. 🅰

Any suggestions? Or does maybe anyone know of a better way to get the typewriter affect that isn’t so “sensitive”?

Thanks a tonne all! :pleased:
