SUPER TEXT TRANSITION CLASS

The best idea is to email me a .fla so I can sort it out for you. In order to achieve random values – you will need to pass functions that return the correct data type. This may be a little hard to understand at first, but if I can show you within your .fla you should grasp it quickly

An example would be

function randomNumber():Number { return Math.ceil(Math.random()100); }

var t:textTransition = new textTransition(yourTextField, {_xscale:randomNumber, _yscale:”_xscale”});

note *_yscale:”_xscale” – this means that _yscale should be the same as the random number returned for _xscale

sorry stupid textile messed up my code example. email me

Great to hear man And sorry everyone, I’m still really behind with work, havent had time to even look at updating this class yet…I will soon as I can though, promise

Another feature Im thinking of adding is randomOrder – it randomly transitions letters/words/lines in…but again, I need the time free to work on this

Thankyou for your comments, much appreciated

Well, if you want to fade something out, you can use the reanimte() with the _alpha:[100, 0] property – this will start the transition at _alpha 100 (fully visible), and end it at 0 (invisible). This transition will occur either letter by letter, word by word, or line by line. If you want to remove the movie clip on complete, you can use the onComplete and onCompleteScope properties. Since the textTransition class creates a movie clip with the same name as your original textfield, to remove it you simply need to removeMovieClip(yourTextFieldName), though make sure you pass the right scope (usually this)

If, however, you want to fade out the whole block of text at the same time, you will have to use AS to _alpha out the entire movie clip – this is easy enough, you can use an onEnterFrame or a Tween to _alpha out the textTransition mc, just pass the name of your original textfield.

sorry, the method is reanimate(), not reanimte()

Actually if you use reanimate with a really low gap, it will fade out everything really quickly.

something like

t.reanimate({_alpha, gap, speed:300});

bah damn smiley – i meant _alpha: 0, _gap: 0

@var t:textTransition = new textTransition(yourTextfield, {mode:”word”, speed:300, gap, onComplete:grow, onCompleteScope:this});

function shrink(){ t.reanimate({_xscale:100, _yscale:100, onComplete:grow, onCompleteScope:this}); }

function grow(){ t.reanimate({_xscale:120, _yscale:120, delay:2000, onComplete:shrink, onCompleteScope:this}); }@

to change the gap between the pulses, edit the delay in the grow function.

also, try switching between line, word and letter modes for different effect

var t:textTransition = new textTransition(yourTextfield, {mode:”word”, speed:300, gap, onComplete:grow, onCompleteScope:this}); function shrink(){ t.reanimate({_xscale:100, _yscale:100, onComplete:grow, onCompleteScope:this}); } function grow(){ t.reanimate({_xscale:120, _yscale:120, delay:2000, onComplete:shrink, onCompleteScope:this}); }

sorry, textile messed up my code as usual

dammit, still messed it up. if you have trouble working out this code, email me and i’ll send it to you.

ps i hate this textile rubbish.

use onComplete.

function rand():String { return String(Math.ceil(Math.random()*200)-100); } var t:textTransition = new textTransition(yourTextfield, {_x:[rand, rand], _y:[rand, rand], _rotation:[rand, rand], ease:Elastic.easeOut, speed:1000, gap:100, onComplete:unscramble, onCompleteScope:this}); // function unscramble():Void { t.reanimate({_x:”0”, _y:”0”, _rotation:”0”}); }

no worries guys, glad to help
