Shaking Text

[giantforge]

Hey,

I making a banner, and i want the title/main text to shake/vibrate. The banner has a sort of angry/rock feel to it. I tried using this code for some circles i wanted to vibrate on the text but it didn't work properly:


onClipEvent (load) {
// movie width/height
height = 200;
width = 300;
// ------------------------//
// makes everything random //
// ------------------------//
this._x = Math.round(Math.random()*width);
this._y = Math.round(Math.random()*height);
var temp = this._alpha=Math.random()*100;
this._xscale = this._yscale=temp;
// setting initiaion position
cx = this._x;
cy = this._y;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// causes the object to be offset
this._x = cx+(1+Math.random()*5);
this._y = cy+(1+Math.random()*5);
}
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;
speed = 5;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
endX = _root._xmouse;
endY = _root._ymouse;
_x += (endX-_x)/speed;
_y += (endY-_y)/speed;
}


Please help, i want the text to vibrate in the same principle as that but to stay in one place.

Thanks.

I've made some modifications, think this is what you're looking for. I left you //NOTE comments to clarify it further:

code:

---

onClipEvent (load) {

// movie width/height

height = 200;

width = 300;



/* NOTE: set these ._x and._y coordinates to position your clip where you want it

It might take some experimenting*/

this._x = 120;

this._y = 120;

// setting initiaion position

cx = this._x;

cy = this._y;

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

// causes the object to be offset

this._x = cx+(1+Math.random()*5);

this._y = cy+(1+Math.random()*5);

}

onClipEvent (load) {

_x = 0;

_y = 0;

//NOTE: set desired speed (xperiment):

speed = 2;

}

//NOTE : if you cut these out, then the mouse won't affect your MC:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

endX = _root._xmouse;

endY = _root._ymouse;

_x += (endX-_x)/speed;

_y += (endY-_y)/speed;

}
