Changing the text that is being animated?
March 07, 2011 11:14PM
I'm trying to create a function that changes the text of the TextField that is being animated.
Whenever I change the text using fte.text = theText; it causes the effect to hang. Or Stop, or whatever. Visually, the text disappears.
I've tried to stop the effect and then restart it using
myEffect.stop();
fte.text = theText;
myEffect.show();
but that doesn't help.

Any ideas?
High level, I simply need to be able to change the text that's being animated after the animation has been started. It's fine (and preferable) to do it before the show effect starts.
Thanks in advance.
Bob

Like I said in some previous posts, there isn't a stop method on flasheff. Also you cannot just pause an effect and then to start it from where it remained.
