flash - capture RText

Post by explorer »

hi!

this is a sample code i've developed. it allows you to grab
the whole content of the rtext field from resolume in flash.

it may becoma handy when programming your own flash effects.
it still need's some fixes, but it works just fine for me :) (for now:))

this code may by even used to produce multiline and live typing, but i', still working on it.

if any of you flashers makes this work better, please let me know.

take care

hi guys!

i'm so sorry. i've just noticed, that i didn't told you how to use it :)

first of all, drag the swf to your deck
then, set the time controll to flash
next, go to text, and write something like this:
/set
line one
line two
line three
line four
/end

and finally drag the configured swf from your deck to the given channel.
thats all.

it is good to use with AS coced flash effects, that use arrays of words.
then you could use it like this:

/set
line one,
line two,
line three,
line four
/end

and in flash split the text (witch is kept in the myText variable) using "," delimiter like so:
someArray = myText.split(",");

enjoy, and please give me some feedback!
