text effect

[samanthayy]

can someone tell me (in a very simple way) how to use the dos cursor effect?

Don't understand what is going on.... :confused:

onClipEvent(load){
titletemp = "Write your message here.";
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
count+=1
if(count == 5){
if(under == ""){
under = "_";
}else{
under = "";
}
counttemp+=1;
title = titletemp.substring ( titletemp, counttemp, 1) + under;
count = 0;
}
}


Recently I used the cursor effect and came up with this code. Dont know if it uses the concept as the one you are looking at, can you understand this one

First look yourself, and then check your answer :


























onClipEvent(load){
titletemp = "Write your message here."; // the text being displayed
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
count+=1 // add 1 to 'count'
if(count == 5){ // is count 5 ?
if(under == ""){ // is the cursor not visible (is under 'empty') ?
under = "_"; // then place it (under = "_")
}else{ // if it is there
under = ""; // remove it
}
counttemp+=1; // temporary counter, add 1
title = titletemp.substring ( titletemp, counttemp, 1) + under; // the real message is being 'built' from titletemp
count = 0; // reset count
}
}

*yuck, furballs everywhere here*

Give me a couple more days .....

I am totally absorbed in school work ~ Physics and Math are killing me.....

maybe girls don't have the right brain constructions for programming......

I wonder ... oh Pink ? How is your coding going ? I know mine sucks, and I'm a guy, so might not be gender related ...
