RE: [flexcoders] Flying text or passing text??

[Ashish Verma]

The very simple trick to do that. Place the label at the bottom of the
Canvas and take the label text in string.  Here is the source code:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute" creationComplete="(scrollTextHorizontaly())">

<mx:Script>

      <![CDATA[

            private var timerObject:Timer;

            [Bindable]

            private var scrollText:String = "Welcome to My World. Come here
for any query and solution... ";

            

            private function scrollTextHorizontaly():void

            {

                  scrollText = lblText.text;

                  timerObject = new Timer(500);

 
timerObject.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,dotheScrolling);

                  timerObject.start();

            }

            

            private function dotheScrolling(event:TimerEvent):void

            {

                  var tempString:String;

                  tempString = scrollText.substr(1,scrollText.length);

                  scrollText = tempString + scrollText.charAt(0);

                  

            }

                                    

      ]]>

</mx:Script>      

 

<mx:Label id="lblText" bottom="5" text="{scrollText}" fontWeight="bold"
fontSize="12" textAlign="center" />   

</mx:WindowedApplication>

 

Best,

Ashish

Where can I view those examples? I have used move effect for canvas
and panel. The way I used it was - I made the x or y coordinate of the
moving element to some thing so that it is not visible at all and once
some event is triggered I just move it in using move effect.

Are you suggesting that same thing for this text effect?
