    Is there a way to speed up the typewriter effect? I have tried messing with the cursor blink/no blink, etc. It just seems way to SLOW! <G>

    Apart from setting the cursor flashes to "0", you can't speed up the effect without increasing your 'frames per second' rate in the whole movie. The number of frames the effect spans is determined by the number of chatacters in your text, so shortnening the number of frames is not a solution.


    Hope than helps

    Bummer - This solution makes the most sense..... Does the framerate also affect the overall size of the swf? Or is that more of a funtion of content?

    Nope..just makes your total movie run faster...btw any frame rate above 18 just runs at 18 anyhow..
