Flash is going to make me go INSANE...
 

Just needed to vent that. I thought I was a pretty sharp guy, but Flash is making my brain hurt! :glugglug

Why would you think that???

:)

I had it for a long time, every now and again I try to make a flash movie then I end up giving up, graphics just isn't my thing:(

Seems to be a common misconception around here.

H to the wizzo V to the wizzay

What seems to be the problem with Flash my man?

Flash = Fun

Flash is fun :) why would you think that

OK, I actually have made some progress, but I'm not 100% sure I did it the easy way...Is there a way to tween text and scale the text without converting each letter to a symbol? Which is how I assume most people create text effects?

I would try just converting a whole word, but when I would tween it all but 1 letter would drop out, so I would have to convert each letter to a symbol and that just slowed the process wayyy down... :winkwink:

If it is just texteffects you are after, Swish might do the job, if not .. Flash does take a lot of time and the most time consuming solution is - unfortunately - often the right one.

Not sure what it is what you exactly need though.

If you're looking for text effects you will find them on

Your problem can be solved easily by using actionscript. There are mny good examples on Flashkit and all you have to do is modify the type of movement of one letter and the variable that specifies the text that will show.

And what's the point anyway? Surfers HATE flash.
