FLASH: fast typewriter effect

[marcel-k]

Hi,


I want to do a typewriter effect with a fairly large text. It needs to

'type' very fast so I need to have (a lot) more characters per frame than

just one. I was thinking about half a line per frame instead...

I want to do it with text fields and without anti-aliasing so masking is out

of the question (I can't get that to work... only if I let it include fonts,

but that's not what i want because then It anti-aliases).


Anybody know a good .fla file or tutorial? I got some source files allready

from flashkit, virtual-fx.net and the likes but none of them do what i want.


I need a script that paints , say, 20 characters per frame, on screen.


TIA,

Marcel
