letter by letter

[Joeyag]

please, someone tell me how do I make something like this:
the first frame is written "a"
the seccond is written "ab"
then "abc"
ect..

FBF
type A in the first keyframe
AB in the second keyframe
ABC in the third keyframe and go on and on.

[Joeyag]

but there is no better way to do it?

[katfleas]

nope

[TehDiseased]

I can't think of any other way to do it, like with an AS generator or anything. Doing it yourself is your best bet.

[Dereks]

Yep, you can make it auto with AS, ask it in programming section !

I think there are three ways, typing letter by letter in every frame, moving mask in every frame or using AS. Here are few tutorials:
Typewriter Effect In Flash
Scripted Typewriter Effect
Typing Text Effect
Google
