r.e. The example patch.
Yes, this 'input text after return' method is where I have already got
to with creating my patch, unfortunately its not the solution. I also
see a problem in the cocoa / interface builder approach, in that I want
to then take this qtz direct into resolume or vdmx and I don't thin a
custom app would have that flexibility for me to do that... Any other
ideas on this subject folks? The timer approach sounds promising, but
where would I attach this to target the 'return' action ?
Thanks

Hi Jaygo,
if I understand you correctly you want to have some kind of typewriter
animation of your text?
The problem in QC-Editor is, that it only send the input filed content to the
composition once you hit the return key. If you want to have a different
behavior you have to create your own wrapper application around your QTZ. In
BoinxTV for example, we implemented it that way because we wanted to show in
the preview the changes as you type. You can use your QTZ in BoinxTV to check
it out! Anyways writing your own app maybe not to complicated, with cocoa and
interface builder this could be done with less than hundred lines of code.
If you want to do it in QZ natively I would recommend using some timers and
string pachts to create the illusion if someone is actually hacking the text
right now. The benefit is, that you have plenty of time to check if your
spelling is correct before it appears on screen.
Find attached a small composition I hacked together the show what I mean.
best,

Hi Folks
I have been following the thread for some time, and always gleaning interesting
information for
my beginning steps with Quartz Composer. Today I come upon a problem and hope
someone can advise.
I am trying to create a dynamic text .qtz patch. I use string to input text but
want for my text to appear on stage instantly
when any key is pressed and not to have to be inputed by my hitting 'return'.
How can I do this ?
Thanks
Jaygo Bloom
