actionscript text animation

[vinyladdict]

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a (tutorial for a) script for animating text...

I need one for MX or later - The only ones I can find are for Flash 5

Cheers,

Pete

ok well I tried using the one from the Tutorials section but it's for flash 5 (tell targets and everything - those were the days!) :cool:

anyway, It's working OK but because the kerning is set as a variable - if the letter is an 'I' then there is an elongated space after it.

Basically it looks poo.

any ideas.....?

Cheers,

Pete

Hi -
"Flash Hacks" by Sham Bhangal has a nice framework for doing several different AS text effects - there may be something listed as an example at oreilly.com. You can also break apart the text once, place these on layers and tween on the timeline...
