Nice text effect

[galak]

Hi All,


I have been spending over an hour trying to figure out how the text effect of this web has been done : http://joesjeans.com/ go to jeans section then women

the menu is what I'm looking for. I can't really grasp what's going on, I can't even figure if it's code or timeline...


thanks in advance for any hints...

Well, it could possibly be timeline, but I would personally do it with code...

I would take the content of the textField, pass the characters into an array and create seperate fields for each one. Then I would randomly shuffle them around in the x and play with their alpha values. One at a time they change back to the original letters until the word is back to normal.

This is all encapsulated in a function that is run on rollOver of the clip containing the textFields.

To be frank, i saw this effect on so many Flash site...boring!
