[AS]TextField.prototype.typeWriter = function(milliseconds, text) {
var index, str, init;
str = text.length ? text : this.text;
this.$typer = function() {
this.text = str.substr(0, ++index);
if (index == str.length) clearInterval(init);
};
init = setInterval(this, “$typer”, milliseconds);
};
// usage example 1
this.createTextField(“test_txt”, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
test_txt.autoSize = true;
test_txt.setNewTextFormat(new TextFormat(“Verdana”, 10));
test_txt.text = “naked_chicken”;
test_txt.typeWriter(100);
// usage example 2
this.createTextField(“test_txt”, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

OK… let’s make things easier. :stuck_out_tongue:

  1. Paste this code in the first frame actions of your movie (highligh the frame and hit F9):
    [AS]TextField.prototype.typeWriter = function(milliseconds, text) {
    var index, str, init;
    str = text.length ? text : this.text;
    this.$typer = function() {
    this.text = str.substr(0, ++index);
    if (index == str.length) clearInterval(init);
    };
    init = setInterval(this, “$typer”, milliseconds);
    };[/AS]

  2. Create a dynamic TextField and write the text.

  3. Assign an instance name to the TextField. For the sake of this example, I’ll call it myTextField.

  4. Go to the frame actions and call the method:
    [AS]myTextField.typeWriter(100);[/AS]
    You’d replace myTextField with whatever you called the TextField.

The first parameter, milliseconds, is basically the speed at which the text is written.

The second parameter, text, is the text that you want to write in the TextField. It’s an optional parameter.

Got it? =)
