this.letraIndex = 0;  
this.letras\_array = [];  
this.typeID = setInterval(this, “escribe”, 100);  
this.escribe = function(){  
var letraAEscribir = this.texto.charAt(this.letraIndex);  
//this.letras\_array.push(letraAEscribir);  
//var textoAEscribir = myString.concat(this.letras\_array);  
this.textBox.text += letraAEscribir;  
this.letraIndex++;  
}

we need some more information about your setup. You have some stuff missing in your code… for example… I dont see where you’re calling your function (escribe).

Its like this i have a main.swf page. in the main.swf page i have a masked area which loads in movie1.swf which when clicked on a button it loads, this text typer efect is on movie1.swf. it all works fine on flash player but when in dreamweaver it loads the movie1.swf onto the main.swf ok but when it comes to the text typing effect nothing happens.

i hope this will help u understand a bit more
