Simple effect applied to a word. Letters will pop up randomly with an alpha in and a blur out effect.
You can type any word and use any font and text format you like.
The effect is called with a single static method: BlurLetter.create(“my text”, mc, textformat);

I bought this script and love the effect. However i am struggling to break the text into new lines.
I have tried “this is my text \n this is a new line”
But it doesnt work? Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Also if i try to specify a width to the container:
container_mc._width = 200;
The script stops working completely. Is this just limited to a single unborken line of text then?

Well, the easiest solution I adopt is to break the words in two containers. I create two movieclip and slice the phrase in two. You can see a working example here:

(this is as3, but the code is similar)
About the width, you don’t have to declare it, as the script resizes automatically
Marcoi was wondering if there was an easy way to reverse the effect. i wanted to have the blur in and then after like a second blur the words back out. I’m pretty new to flash so any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks! and great effect!!!!

@huckster: have you, by chance, changed font and not embedded/linked in the document?

@ndasilva: simply change the color in the text format in the main fla file (when you call the effect)

Hi.. is this AS2 or AS3 ? Is the call to blur the text in a function or does it just play through as soon as you publish? I’d like to be able to control when the text fades in and out.
I’m pretty familiar with AS2 , but without seeing the code I hesitate to buy the file. Can you please tell me how easy it will be to control that?
Thanks.

@nlyttle: it’s as2. It’s a simple static function call. You pass the text, the mc where the text will be added, and the text format for the text. The alpha in time is random, but you can change the class as you wish.

If it’s not too much trouble, could I also be sent the modified files to reverse the effect so that the text will fade out as well. Thank you so much.

Oh, my apologies. I read a post here from 4 months back where someone asked a similar question of you, so I thought it was ok to ask. My mistake, I certainly did not want to intrude on your time needlessly. Thank you for creating this file!

@plexcess: whoops, sorry, you’re right… problem is I don’t give as2 file support anymore… Write me a mail and I will send you those old files. Hope you will find them useful 
@LOT204: yes, simply change the timing (alpha_time and blur_time in Letter.as) to a fixed number (in seconds)

Very good effects, well done.
How do I embed text in flash 9. I am trying to change the font to tahoma.
Thanks in advance.

@ckani: if you are trying to convert it in as3 the code is completely different. This is as2 only
