Ya I was wondering How I can make the text not dissapear after it types it out, as well as start the second set of text below the first then have it stay put without loopings? I am very new to flash.......

Duplicate Movie Clip ("../original", "font"&n, n)
Set Variable: "../font"&n&":text" = Substring(text,n,1)
Set Property ("../font"&n, X Position) = fontx+(fontwidth*(n-1))
Set Property ("../font"&n, X Position) = GetProperty("../cursor",_x)-fontwidth
Set Property ("../font"&n, Y Position) = GetProperty("../cursor",_y)
Set Variable: "n" = n+1
Go to and Play (_currentframe-1)
End If


I think I would change it in this part of the action not sure though? Any Ideas!

Flash 4 ... need ... to ... remember ... void ....
I assume that you meant font._x and font._width there ?
Else you need to declare fontx and fontwidth somewhere or else you'll get a null value. All I can think of at the moment.
