Text Effects-NONE!

[Robertp]

I can't even begin to understand how you guys don't have text effects. What I mean by this is how text can do a quick swipe into the page or a diffuse effect or even a vertical swipe where the text shows up line by line

This is not Adobe Flash cs3 :P search for the text decoration plugin if you wish such effects

All those effects can be done just fine in AMS, albeit not as dramatic as you're thinking I am sure, but nonetheless just fine...

What like this?

Took me ten minutes to write the code...just get creative man, you'll be amazed what AMS can do.

PUT THIS CODE ON A BUTTON FOR TESTING

function TextSweepFromLeft(sParagraphName, sMyText, iParagraphX, iParagraphY)



-- Paragraph object properties table.
tblParaProps = {};
tblParaProps.Text = sMyText;
tblParaProps.FontName = "Arial";
tblParaProps.FontSize = 10;
tblParaProps.FontWeight = FW_NORMAL;
tblParaProps.FontAntiAlias = true;
tblParaProps.FontScript = ANSI_CHARSET;
tblParaProps.FontUnderline = false;
tblParaProps.FontStrikeout = false;
tblParaProps.FontItalic = false;
tblParaProps.Width = 5 + (String.Length(sMyText)*8);
tblParaProps.Height = 40;
tblParaProps.Y = iParagraphY;
tblParaProps.X = -tblParaProps.Width;
tblParaProps.ScrollVertical = SCROLL_AUTO;
tblParaProps.ScrollHorizontal = SCROLL_OFF;
tblParaProps.Alignment = ALIGN_LEFT;
tblParaProps.BGStyle = BG_TRANSPARENT;
tblParaProps.BGColor = Math.HexColorToNumber("000000");
tblParaProps.BorderStyle = BORDER_NONE;
tblParaProps.BorderColor = Math.HexColorToNumber("FFFFFF");
tblParaProps.ScrollStyle = SCROLL_STANDARD;
tblParaProps.SkinFile = "";
tblParaProps.TooltipText = "";
tblParaProps.Enabled = true;
tblParaProps.Visible = true;
tblParaProps.Cursor = CURSOR_ARROW;
tblParaProps.ResizeLeft = false;
tblParaProps.ResizeRight = false;
tblParaProps.ResizeTop = false;
tblParaProps.ResizeBottom = false;
tblParaProps.ColorNormal = Math.HexColorToNumber("FFFFFF");
tblParaProps.ColorHighlight = Math.HexColorToNumber("FFFFFF");
tblParaProps.ColorDown = Math.HexColorToNumber("FFFFFF");
tblParaProps.ColorDisabled = Math.HexColorToNumber("C0C0C0");
tblParaProps.HighlightSound = SND_NONE;
tblParaProps.HighlightSoundFile = "";
tblParaProps.ClickSound = SND_NONE;
tblParaProps.ClickSoundFile = "";

Page.CreateObject(OBJECT_PARAGRAPH, sParagraphName, tblParaProps) 

for x = 1, (iParagraphX + tblParaProps.X) do
Paragraph.SetPos(sParagraphName, x, tblParaProps.Y);



end

end

TextSweepFromLeft("Paragraph1", "This is some text right here.", 550, 500)

P.S. Thanks for the inspiration! I'm gonna write a whole mess of these little text effects for my action script treasure pile.

Here, I decided to play with it just a bit more so as to demonstrate the power of AMS.

Text = {};

-- Paragraph object properties table.
tblParaProps = {};
tblParaProps.Text = "my text here";
tblParaProps.FontName = "Arial";
tblParaProps.FontSize = 10;
tblParaProps.FontWeight = FW_NORMAL;
tblParaProps.FontAntiAlias = true;
tblParaProps.FontScript = ANSI_CHARSET;
tblParaProps.FontUnderline = false;
tblParaProps.FontStrikeout = false;
tblParaProps.FontItalic = false;
tblParaProps.ScrollVertical = SCROLL_AUTO;
tblParaProps.ScrollHorizontal = SCROLL_OFF;
tblParaProps.Alignment = ALIGN_LEFT;
tblParaProps.BGStyle = BG_TRANSPARENT;
tblParaProps.BGColor = Math.HexColorToNumber("550000");
tblParaProps.BorderStyle = BORDER_NONE;
tblParaProps.BorderColor = Math.HexColorToNumber("FFFFFF");
tblParaProps.ScrollStyle = SCROLL_STANDARD;
tblParaProps.SkinFile = "";
tblParaProps.TooltipText = "";
tblParaProps.Enabled = true;
tblParaProps.Visible = true;
tblParaProps.Cursor = CURSOR_ARROW;
tblParaProps.ResizeLeft = false;
tblParaProps.ResizeRight = false;
tblParaProps.ResizeTop = false;
tblParaProps.ResizeBottom = false;
tblParaProps.ColorNormal = Math.HexColorToNumber("FFFFFF");
tblParaProps.ColorHighlight = Math.HexColorToNumber("FFFFFF");
tblParaProps.ColorDown = Math.HexColorToNumber("FFFFFF");
tblParaProps.ColorDisabled = Math.HexColorToNumber("C0C0C0");
tblParaProps.HighlightSound = SND_NONE;
tblParaProps.HighlightSoundFile = "";
tblParaProps.ClickSound = SND_NONE;
tblParaProps.ClickSoundFile = "";


function Text.SweepFromLeft(sParagraphName, tblParagraphProperties, iParagraphStopX, iParagraphStopY, iSpeed)

tblParagraphProperties.Width = 6 + (String.Length(tblParagraphProperties.Text)*7);
tblParagraphProperties.Height = 30;
tblParagraphProperties.Y = iParagraphStopY;
tblParagraphProperties.X = -tblParagraphProperties.Width;

Page.CreateObject(OBJECT_PARAGRAPH, sParagraphName, tblParagraphProperties) 

for x = 1, (iParagraphStopX + tblParagraphProperties.X) do
Paragraph.SetPos(sParagraphName, x, tblParagraphProperties.Y);

	for y = 1, (100 - iSpeed) do
	Paragraph.SetPos(sParagraphName, x, tblParagraphProperties.Y);
	end	
	

end

end

--change the last number in the function to change the speed of the text effect (0-100)
Text.SweepFromLeft("Paragraph1", tblParaProps, 550, 500, 0);

Don't forget, there are many folks around here that can help with code too and more user-made, free plugins that you can shake a stick at!
