Random text generator - Dadaistic projection

hovnajs · Post by **hovnajs** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 13:31

Hi all,
I wrote a small flash(using ActionScript), that repeatedly shows two random word from text filed(can be edited by dragging text file) on random place with random font size.

Sometimes is it realy funny(I tried mously in my native language - Czech).

Flash swf file and source fla flie are here

you mean text field in Resolume? There are two ways how to get text into this filed - write it (in this case will be there just a few words and each on them will be repeated many times) or copy paste from file ant it is nearly the same is load it directly from file

maybe this could be usefull - if there is no file, then take it from text filed else use file; if I'll have some time a can try to implement this feature

hi hovnajs,
you can drag any .txt file from the file browser in resolume to a channel containing a flash movie. The content of the .txt file is put into the text field.

Cheers
Edwin

Thanks Danger and edwin - realy great advice. I rewrite this flash so it takes text filed as input. This gives new features like that you can use dada.swf twice in two layers each with different dictonary.

I am looking forward to next weekend when I'll try it live.

realy cool, would be great as a freeframe filter.

one prob ive found is every time it changes words it freeze the out put, not sure if its because ive got to much text, poor little note pad

I don't know, if (or how) I can use Resolume variables in freeframe

If someone knows - please give me a hint and I can try to implement this like freeframe plugin.
