I need a tutorial or some one to tell me how to to make this in flash:

I need to know the action script and where it goes for:

(example) someone puts ABC in the first text field. Then in another text field, it comes out backwards so it would say CBA when someone presses a button

Well, i was working on something, but my computer froze and Flash shut down. Its been doin that a lot lately. Anyway, I won’t have a file up for you. But take a look at this tutorial:

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/ascript\_text\_animation.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/ascript_text_animation.asp)

read the duplication code. Understand it. and then you should have a pretty decent understanding of how to do what you want to do. The only tricky part that I couldn’t quite get, was putting them in the reverse order…

you should take this one to the Actionscript forum…

but, here is your answer.

on(release){

* * *

\_ \_ \_ \_ mystring=inputa; //inputa is the name of inputbox  
\_ \_ \_ \_ i=mystring.split("");//take input and split each word  
\_ \_ \_ \_ i.split(",",i.length);//make an array from each word  
\_ \_ \_ \_ i.reverse();//reverse the array  
\_ \_ \_ \_ myvar=i.join("");//join array itms together in string  
\_ \_ \_ \_ //myvar is var for dynamic text box  
}

Hope it helps!
