TextAnimator AS3
keita over at labs.hellokeita.com has a great utility for animating/typing text here.
The click me link will show up in the output of flash as it is a trace statement.
TextAnimation.animate(“”,
“Welcome to <font color=’#FF0000′><a href=’http://labs.hellokeita.com’>labs.hellokeita.com</a></font><br>”+
“Some more text.<br><a href=’event:hello world!’><font color=’#FF0000′>Click Me.</font></a><br><br>”+
“Welcome to <a href=’http://blog.hydrotik.com’><font color=’#990000′>blog.hydrotik.com</font></a><br>”+
“Some more text.<br><a href=’event:hello world 2!’><font color=’#990000′>Click Me.</font></a>”, {
textField: tf,
step: 5,
time: 5,
delay: 0,
characters: “0123456789-#”,
transition: “easeInOutCubic”
});
var style:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
var a:Object = new Object();
a.color = 0xFF0000;
style.setStyle(“a:hover”, a);
tf.addEventListener(“link”, clickHandler);
function clickHandler(e:TextEvent):void {
trace(e.type); // link
trace(e.text); // myEvent
}
keita did a great job on this. I simply made a slight modification that allows for href tags as well as nested tags and corrected an import link path. I think he plans on adding support for all tags at some point.
