FMX: Text animation using AS

[TOOL]

Alright, I'm attempting to do the tutorial located here (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/ascript_text_animation.htm) . The tutorial is kind of confusing and isn't working for me. It seems to be for Flash 5 but I guess you can do it with MX as well...

I think the easiest thing to do would be for someone to have a look at what I'm doing rather than trying to explain it.

If anyone can be bothered or has the time, let me know.

I never had a problem with the tutorial, it is great. I use MX.

Is there a part you are not understanding and need better explained?


Can you post a .fla file?

[TOOL]

the .fla is too big apparently :-\

[lostinbeta]

Do you have a server to upload to and link it to here?


And it shouldn't be too big :-\ unless you have already incorporated it into a bigger movie.

Try doing the tutorial with a blank document first and see if you can get it to work if you didn't do that already.

[TOOL]

nope, no server to upload to...it's 104 kb i think :-\ and i haven't tried doing the tutorial in a blank document...maybe i should try that

TOol if you need to upload a file I can let you use my server. Do not abuse this please :)

Thats a cool upload/download php feature Jubba! Man... I should get me one of those... save me from opening my ftp program everytime I want to upload 1 image or something.

thanks for that offer to upload jubba and i'll let you know about the tutorial but not now, i've had a pretty big day with atleast 6 hours of travelling and with the start of uni i probably won't get around to having a decent look at the tutorial until maybe the end of the week so i'll prob just post a new thread and hopefully you'll see it :)
