You can do it without actionscript! Just make the text box. Add a keyframe, Add your 1st letter in the textbox. All you do add your symbol, letter, neumber, whatever 1 at a time every key frame. Also, you have to add a keyframe per space. i.e. your text is "a car" Make 6 keyframes. Frame 1- Nothing. Frame 2- a Frame 3- a(space) Frame 4- a c Frame 5- a ca Frame 6- a car See? Also, for a typing effect you can add a "_" or "l" to look like its actually typing.

Yes but then if you want to change what the text says you have to change every keyframe separately. Also, if you want a ton of typing text, like things characters say in a game, that would be a lot more work.

Wow, i really could have used this tutorial for MindFeed, lulz! :D

Now that I have this maybe I can do my phoenix wright thing.

if it doesint work, remember to put the following when you want it to start typing (top of the code if you want it when its on the frame)

spelltext ()

as for what happens when your done, reading the tutorial instead of just copy and pasting would help alot

...will check to see if the entire string has been "typed" out...

link doesn't work

var i:Number=0;
w = setInterval(function(){txt=t.substr(0,i),i>t.length?clearInterval(w):i++;},99);
