Hey - I am trying to do your tutorial for the mouse trail and I want it to say designsbymikele but it isn’t working. The is the code below, are you able to help me trouble shoot why this isn’t working?
//–Type in all the letters–
Text = " designsbymikele";
letters = Text.split("");
//–The text appearance–
letterformat = new TextFormat();
letterformat.font = “Verdana”;
letterformat.align = “center”;
letterformat.size = “10”;
//–Custom values–
spacing = 12;
speed = 3;
//–Creating the text–
for (L=0; L<letters.length; L++) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(letters[L], L);
_root[letters[L]].createTextField(letters[L]+“t”, L, L*spacing, 10, 50, 20);
with (_root[letters[L]][letters[L]+“t”]) {
text = letters[L];
setTextFormat(letterformat);
selectable = false;
}
//–Making it move–
if (L>0) {
_root[letters[L]].id = L;
_root[letters[L]].onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x += (_root[letters[this.id-1]]._x-this.lastX)/speed;
this._y += (_root[letters[this.id-1]]._y-this.lastY)/speed;
this.lastX = this._x;
this.lastY = this._y;
};
} else {
_root[letters[L]].onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x += (_root._xmouse-this.lastX+10)/speed;
this._y += (_root._ymouse-this.lastY)/speed;
this.lastX = this._x;
this.lastY = this._y;
};
}
}
