Hiya, I am wanting to create an effect where text will appear on the screen as if it is being written by a pen. I am going to set about writing a class to achieve this and wanted to get the group's thoughts on if I am going about this the right way. My idea is that I could create all of my text in textfield then convert the textfield somehow into a BitmapData object, then I could use the BitmapData class to scan through the image starting at the top left and figure out which pixels are coloured by the text and then I duplicate the BitmapData object and colour the pixels gradually. My class would need to know which angle the text should be appearing (writing) in. The font I use would have to use 'joined up' writing also obv.
Does anyone think this would work or is there a simple way to achieve what I am looking to do? Thanks, Ali _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
