Hello
I need help I'm trying to control the speed of the text
this is the code I used:
Code:
var effectTxt:String = _root.text1.text;
_root.text1.text = "";
var startEff:Number = 1;
_root.onEnterFrame = function (){
if (effectTxt.length>=startEff) {
_root.text1.text = effectTxt.substr(0, startEff);
startEff++;
}
else {
clearInterval(writingInterval);
delete _root;
}
};
and this is the code I've been trying to put it
Code:
var writingInterval:Number = setInterval(autoWrite, 100);
From what I have been trying and experiment the code the "autoWrite" is the function name but from the first code I showed when I put a function name I get error saying "Function declaration is not permitted here" but I really need the first code because every time I used with the function name and when I go to another frame by clicking button the text in the next frame gets really fast and so on and so on but if I use the first code and I want to go to another frame by clicking button the text doesn't go fast and displayed in normal speed.
the code with function name
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var myMessage:String = "One day... this is where I put the text";
function autoWrite():Void {
if (i<=myMessage.length) {
text1.text = myMessage.substr(0, i)+"";
i = i+1;
} else {
clearInterval(writingInterval);
delete _root;
}
}
var writingInterval:Number = setInterval(autoWrite, 100);
I could do this frame by frame but it is going to take forever I have like a whole story to put in
