how do you make text in Flash MX!?!?
haha, no. How to do the text/AS thing where the text fills in like so:

I would do something like:
setInterVal loop and slice() to write each character of a string [taken from an Array, and starting from the first one], while deleting every last character until the first one of the previous selection [actually writing everything all over, each time]. Then put the textFiedNew+TextFieldOld until the all thing's finished...

Yeah it looks like some serious string manipulation going on with the text, looping through an array of characters... seems to ease out a little too. I like how the old text erases after the new text finishes drawing in. group94 is so good!

you can fake it if you don't have the actionscript skills

i only spent about 12 minutes on this, and it's in javascript, but since it's so similar to actionscript, you can get an idea of one way of getting this effect:

there are at least a thousand ways (some, much more efficient) of doing this, so play around and figure out what works best for you.

cool... i like it... to give that extra speed I'd recommend you actually add/subtract two characters at a time... trick your user :)
