Dynamic text

Hi

I got this scripting from one of your guys, but how do you apply it to a button, created in flash?

 myArray = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z" , "'" , " "];
word = "hello it's me again ha ha ha";
for (i=0; i<word.length; i++) {
myClip = attachMovie("mc", "mc"+i, i);
myClip.ivar = i;
myClip._y = 100;
myClip._x = 0+myClip.ivar*myClip._width;
myClip.targ = word.charAt(myClip.ivar);
myClip.myText.text = myArray[random(myArray.length)];
myClip.counter =random(10)
myClip.onEnterFrame = change;
}
function change() {
this.counter++
if (this.myText.text != this.targ && this.counter<15) {
this.myText.text = myArray[random(myArray.length)];
} else {
this.myText.text = this.targ;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}

Looks like something i might have done. have a look here http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65050 I made a few examples so you may find what you are looking for. If not, I`ll try and adapt it for you.

Yehm thats exactly what i’m looking for. that http://www.yugop.com/ thingie.

But I’ve created a button in flash, and want to add the script to my button, but don’t know how? When I open that flash file its only scripting. Sorry I know I sound dumb…

Put the loop in a function

myArray = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z", "'", " "];
word = "hello it's me again ha ha ha";
function makeRandomtext() {
	for (i=0; i<word.length; i++) {
		myClip = attachMovie("mc", "mc"+i, i);
		myClip.ivar = i;
		myClip._y = 100;
		myClip._x = 0+myClip.ivar*myClip._width;
		myClip.targ = word.charAt(myClip.ivar);
		myClip.myText.text = myArray[random(myArray.length)];
		myClip.counter = random(10);
		myClip.onEnterFrame = change;
	}
}
function change() {
	this.counter++;
	if (this.myText.text != this.targ && this.counter<15) {
		this.myText.text = myArray[random(myArray.length)];
	} else {
		this.myText.text = this.targ;
		delete this.onEnterFrame;
	}
}

and call that function with your button

on(release){
makeRandomtext();
}

Its basically the same code as one of the attempts in the other post.

Thanx alot Stringy, got one problem though, the underscores doesn’t show. Why not?

 function startoff(lets, T) {
 myText.text = "_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _";
 displaytext = lets;
 displayLength = lets.length;
 dupdisplaylength = 60
 myinterval = setInterval(messup, 20, T);
 counter =50
}
function messup(T) {
 mystring = "_";
 for (i=0; i<dupdisplayLength; i++) {
  b = displaytext.substr(random(displayLength), 1) != " " ? displaytext.substr(random(displayLength), 1) : "_";
  mystring += b;
 
 }
  if(dupdisplaylength>displaylength){
   dupdisplaylength--
  myString.slice(dupdisplaylength-1,dupdisplaylength)
  T.text = mystring.substr(0,dupdisplaylength);
 }
 
 counter--;
 if (counter==displayLength) {
  counter = 40;
  clearInterval(myInterval);
  myString = displaytext;
  T.text = mystring;
 }
}
myButton.onPress = function() {
 startoff(" welcome ", myText);
};
btn1.onPress = function() {
 startoff(" services ", myText);
};
btn2.onPress = function() {
 startoff(" contact us ", myText);
};
