[font=Times New Roman][size=2]I’ve create a two frame movie with an “[color=blue]Input[/color]” text field in the first frame.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=2] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=2]The idea is that when a user types in their name, the movie moves onto frame 2 which then gives a “Welcome” message followed by a “[color=blue]Typewriter[/color]” effect presentation of the inputted text.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=2] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=2]I can get this to work great using a “hardwired” number of text fields – so in this example (Please click [HERE](http://www.jdwyer.plus.com/flash/typewriter.html)) you are limited to only 4 letters in the input page, as only 4 fields have been created, but I wanted to create something more dynamic.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=2] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=2]I have had no problem in doing this, using the attached code (flas also attached), BUT….[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=2]this only gives a presentation of the text from the second letter submitted in the input text field onwards – So “John” just outputs “ohn.” The only way round it I can see is to put a space before the first type letter, which is not practical.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=2] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=2]Can anyone help on this.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=2] [/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=2]Thanks[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=2] [/size][/font]
