Thanks so much! You go above and beyond (and thanks for the comments you added to the code; it will help me learn what you’ve done). Well worth the 8 bucks!
Posted about 1 month agoThe successor to the ‘Dynamic Text’ files, the Super Text Transition class is easy to use and able to animate your text in any way you can think of! Click through the demo above, but be aware that it is just a tiny sample of what you can do with this class if you have a bit of imagination. All you need to do is something like this
new textTransition(aTextField, {_x:”-50”, _xscale:-100, speed:500, gap:500});
You simply pass a reference to a dynamic text field, pick which properties to use in the transition, choose relative/absolute/function based start and end values, and set the speed of transition and the gap between each letter/word. Use custom easing, set up an onComplete function, reanimate the letters/words to a new location…
Get the Readme Here for a complete idea of how the class works
Zoom, Mirror, Rotate, Move, Alpha, even tint, or apply all at the same time, the possibilities are enormous!
PLEASE NOTE for best results, make sure your textfields antialias is set for animation, not readability. Also, currently, turn off auto-kerning, as the layout engine doesnt take it into account (yet). Justified alignment doesnt work properly either so dont use that (you can use left/right/center fine)
BRAND NEW UPDATE – 6/6/2008 Version 2.1.3 Released
Re-download this class if you got it before then. There have been a load of improvements – Bugfixes, new backwards property added (start the animation from the last letter/word/line), text layout improvements, easing, a new line mode, tint tweening, bold/italic support, and much more! Documentation has been updated also, it’s very extensive now
To-do- letter randomiser – choose how many random letters to display during the tween before the correct one appears at the end COMING SOON !
- true rewind (starts from last item, reverses start and end values, and reverses ease) COMING SOON !
- fix auto-kerning
- fix justified align
- allow for filters
- allow for an optional ‘letter mc’ so you can make custom animations on a text box in an mc, and the class attach it for each letter
Readme, demo .flas for both MX2004 and Flash 8, and class .as included. Any problems, or perhaps a suggestion? Drop me a line – matthewjumpsoffbuildings at gmail dot com , I’m always interested in feedback
Please be aware that this class is still being developed – any updates will be free to everyone who buys it, but please, if there is a bug, before giving a bad rating, post here and I will fix it straight away.
