Alright, I’m attempting to do the tutorial located [here](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/ascript_text_animation.htm) . The tutorial is kind of confusing and isn’t working for me. It seems to be for Flash 5 but I guess you can do it with MX as well…
I think the easiest thing to do would be for someone to have a look at what I’m doing rather than trying to explain it.
If anyone can be bothered or has the time, let me know.

I never had a problem with the tutorial, it is great. I use MX.
Is there a part you are not understanding and need better explained?
Can you post a .fla file?

Do you have a server to upload to and link it to here?
And it shouldn’t be too big :-\ unless you have already incorporated it into a bigger movie.
Try doing the tutorial with a blank document first and see if you can get it to work if you didn’t do that already.

thanks for that offer to upload jubba and i’ll let you know about the tutorial but not now, i’ve had a pretty big day with atleast 6 hours of travelling and with the start of uni i probably won’t get around to having a decent look at the tutorial until maybe the end of the week so i’ll prob just post a new thread and hopefully you’ll see it 🙂
