Re: [Flashcoders] Swish-type text animation
Sweet idea Jesse, real original. There is also the Yugo style from back in the days of Monocraft where you would create a movieclip that contained a textfield which would embody a single letter. You would tween this dynamic letter, and through external means, generate, kern, break lines and such manually to generate a neat effect. There is another method to do this too, with just dynamic textfields. You have to be creative though, I mean, the most basic form of this is to just run an onEnterFrame loop that populates a textfield with each letter in a string. I've written some things that combine both methods, where you would create a dynamic letter effect and destroy the movieclip and replace it with a letter in a text field once it was finished tweening. Here is a really old example of the first style I mention, it uses random positioning and rotation with the Yugo style, I wrote it in AS 1.0 from flash 5 days: http://anticipatechange.com/huseyin/letloose.html I really should rework that one, the text in the input field is not even embedded >.< Example of the latter is the dynamic type at the bottom on this page: http://anticipatechange.com/huseyin/wtf/ Don't be frightened, I'm just weird. Another example of the latter style is how Yugo handles type on his experimental site: www.yugop.com My two cents: I think it's important to try and be original if you have at dynamic type tweening. Hope this helps, M. On 4/20/06, Ettwein, Josh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Just curious...
