Depending on how much text you're trying to animate, it might be easier to just make the individual frames of the animation, by hand, in a graphics program and just play them back. If it's just a few words on a title page, you could use the erase as you go method I described in my last reply. If you have Photoshop, create an image with two layers. type the text you want on one layer and fill a second layer with white. Use the eraser tool, erase a little bit of the overlay, save a frame, erase a little more save another frame, etc... It would save you a lot of work on writing an app just to record the handwriting strokes and another to play them back... If you're writing a whole page of text, creating all the frames by hand would get real old real quick. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
