Banner with ext. text and delay?

1

Hi,

Wanna create a simple banner with scroll text down-up - pause - further up.

I also wanna use a ext. text file. Where each new line is being displayed.

right now i got the external .txt as


&delay=100
&text=text line1
text line2
text line3
&eof=true

edit replace &text by &bannerText

on frame 1 i got


eof = "false";
loadVariablesNum("bannerText.txt",0);

on frame 3 i got


if (eof == "true") {
	gotoAndPlay (4);
} else {
	gotoAndPlay (2);
}

In frame 6 i got a mc called “aniText_mc” with the scrolling ani and the dynamic text called “text” within a mc called “aniTxt”.

I can see the text, but i need it to display the text line by line.

to do
1 so with actionscript i need to redefine var text = per line txt
2 use the delay var

Any tips or tutorials.

Instead of doing simply

tf.text = text ;

try this:

lines = text.split ("
") ;
numLines = lines.length ;
count = 0 ;
myInterval = setInterval (addLine, parseInt(delay)) ;

function addLine () {
    count ++ ;
    if (count > numLines) clearInterval (myInterval) ;
    else tf.text += "
"+ lines [count] ;
} ;

hmm, i thought i understood your suggestion but i can’t get your suggestion to work.

This i what i got right now, it works but the AS isn’t like yours.

and if you have the time here is the src.
src_file

As you can see the AS is all over the place and i started out OOP i think.
