hy,

my englisch is not so good, sry there for!

i will create an effect like this:

        virusdoder
   v i r u s d od e r

v i r u s d o d e r

it must by horizontally

can sombody help me?

2

Sorry my friend. You will have to try to ask the question again in more detail. It doesn’t make any sense yet.

What is your native language?
I might be able to find someone who speaks that.

dutch

well, the distance between the characters must be bigger. so first the will stand with for ex. 0 cm, than 0.5, 1, 1.5 …

it must be horizantoly, i mean, the letter must go to right and left.
i hope that you understand know a little bit better?

4

cant you just selct the text and use the a/v slider to make futher apart/ closer together

5

Do you want it tweeened, or done with code?

6

maybe it’s stupid, but can you say the both, then i learn a little bit

7

Chiser99,

if i do that, then must i do it for a few frames and i thought that there was something in AS to do that

8

oh so you’re looking for something coded right? i’ll try but i might nto be able to get it. :-\

9

sorry, i don’t have much clue actually :-\ I don’t know what code i’d use :-\

10

and, whith tweening?
is that easier?

i know you can make this effect frame by frame, but that’s not i like to do it

11

yea, thats tweening. Not frame by frame, but sorta. It doesn’t take that long though if its something simple like that :slight_smile: Unless you want it to go on forever

12

but how do i do that, i have tried, but it doesn’t work.

p.s
my english: is it a little bit good or not?

13

its understandable, so thats fine :slight_smile:

anyways, on frame 1, choose type your text.

then on frame 5 of the same layer, add a keyframe, and choose how you would like the text to be changed. So here you would add spaces and stuff.

then between frames 1 and 5, right click and choose ‘create tween motion’. Thats it. If it doesn’t work tell me :slight_smile:

14

i have try it, but it doesn’t work.

15

something like this? :-\

createText = function(str, dmax) {
	var i, d;
	for (i=0; i<str.length; i++) {
		this.createEmptyMovieClip("char"+i, i);
		this["char"+i]._x = this["char"+(i-1)]._x+this["char"+(i-1)]._width;
		this["char"+i].createTextField("charField", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
		this["char"+i].charField.text = str.charAt(i);
		this["char"+i].charField.autoSize = true;
		this.onEnterFrame = function() {
			if (d<dmax) {
				for (i=0; i<str.length; i++) {
					this["char"+i]._x = this["char"+(i-1)]._x+this["char"+(i-1)]._width+d;
				}
				d++;
			} else {
				delete this.onEnterFrame;
			}
		};
	}
};
this.createText("virusdoder", 20);

if so, i guess i could try to explain it and work more on it to make it easier. :stuck_out_tongue:

16

Well, Kax beat me to it, but I couldn’t resist posting my attempt as well:

17

euh,

i will test it, but i think that i don’t understand it, but i will do myne best

18

that’s ok

p.s. Virusdoder, in het Nederlands is wat mij betreft ook ok. :wink:

19

Flashmatazz,

thank you very well! that is what i’m looking for.
but i have one question.
