Question:
I was curious if I could make Flash grab the text to use with the code from an external text file rather than from within the AS provided. I found this script on the Kirupa forums somewhere.
Here is the code:
//position of text box
x=50
y=70
//MAIN TEXT BOX
content = “Some filler text for the text box. Some filler text for the text box.Some filler text for the text box.Some filler text for the text box.”;
createTextField(“display_tf”, 1, x, y, 240, 300);
display_tf.wordWrap = true;
from = content.length;
setInterval(spill, 0001);
function spill() {
if (from>0) {
from -= 5;
to = content.length;
display_tf.text = content.substring(from, to);
}
}
Thanks in advance to anyone who attempts this !!
From,
