Itty-bitty example of elastic text organizing to form a line. This is for the beginners in AS. 😉

It just started as an idea in my head, and luckily it’s a pretty easy idea to live out, so basically it’s just a tiny script made for a few ha-ha’s and whatnot.

Build time was rougly 7 minutes, so don’t expect a mega customizable effect here.

you can change: String value, construction speed, center X/Y.

it automatically centers based on the center X, and the string width/length. elasticity values have to be changed in the Letter mc as of now… I just couldn’t be bothered to build on it anymore, seeing as the brain-fart idea worked already.
