Hi, everyone
I found this script online awhile back and would like to make a class
file from it since I use it a lot. I'd love to just be able to pass a
few variables for the different strings to shuffle.
I've tried making the class file but I'm not so great with class
construction.
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Dave

prev_text = text;
text = "This is the text to fill in. How are you today? We hope
you're doing well.";

this.onLoad = function() {
tf = "";
// shadow
prev_text = "Hello everybody. How are you today? We hope you're
doing well. Things are looking on the up and up for us over here. The
weather is nice and we're all having a blast!</font>";

'inappropriate' to select Rio Ferdinand for the match in Istanbul
because of the player's failure to take a drugs test last month. ";
_root.tf_max = text.length;
// Set whatever speed you like! The function below takes care of any
problems. If the speed wacks it out, the tf is set to the text string
without error.

// This sets the tf to the text string. This is the fix for it
wacking out the first words in the text becuase of the max length.
