[font=Times New Roman][size=3]By way of practice I wanted to create a “Typewriter” effect output to display a “Welcome” message followed by a users name (please click [/size][/font]HERE[font=Times New Roman][size=3]), which would have been inputted in the first frame of a movie.[/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman]Using the below code everything works great, but……[/font]
[font=Times New Roman]How can I get the loop typing out the users name to do so in a more random “timed” fashion, like it would be on a real typewriter, where there would be a delay before each “clack” as the person using the machine hunted for the correct keys.[/font]
[font=Times New Roman]The “Welcome” part has got the right feel, as obviously this is not created dynamically. I have tried a “setInterval” function but obviously this just sets the timing once for the whole loop, as the loop will have executed or started to execute before the set interval would have expired.[/font]
[font=Times New Roman]Any help please.[/font]
