Hi all,
I have been playing with a tutorial for random letter cycling (2.0 as posted by Manny Dimatulac aka Thoripes - http://www.tutorialadvisor.com/tutorials_view/Random_Letter_Cycling_2_0-1137.html).
I want to modify this movie so that it scrolls randomly through the letters, then when the word is found, the movie pauses briefly then moves to the next frame, where a new word will begin cycling ie. when the word is found, move to the next frame.
I am a bit of a newbie to actionscript and can’t seem to get this to happen - can anyone help?
The actionscript is as follows:
onClipEvent (load) {
if (_name == “main”) {
name = “RESULTS”;
for (x=0; x<name.length; ++x) {
this.duplicateMovieClip(“let”+x, x);
_parent[“let”+x]._x += x*20;
_parent[“let”+x].endLetter = name.charAt(x);
}
_root.alphabet = “ELRSTU”;
_alpha = 0;
} else {
cycle = true;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (cycle) {
if (this.letter == endLetter) {
++_root.count;
cycle = false;
} else {
this.letter = _root.alphabet.charAt(random(_root.alphabet.length));
}
}
}
Cheers,
Alikau
