Hi there, I'm animating some letters that are dynamically created in their
own sprites across the screen as if they are being fired in a stream.
Currently I am using a fixed width font so it's straight forward to find
their final position. My problem is that I need to use a non fixed-width
font and
Hi,
You should be able to get the width of each sprite with the single
letter in???
Maybe mask the stream area out. Start each letter at x -
letterWidth, increase the x after each interval, when the letter reaches
x=0, create & show the next one, add it to your array.
Loop throu
Is this AS3? you can use TextField.getCharBoundaries()
I used it in an experiment a while back here to pretty good effect:

Thanks for all of your responses guys,I ended up using getCharBoundaries and
it works a treat.
FYI I created a text field at the position I wanted the letters to finally
go then stored the rectangle object for each char in an array and then
cycled through the array as Glen suggested.
Only thing is
Hi,
Can you get text metrics for characters / lines in the text field???

TextField has a getLineMetrics() function, which returns a TextLineMetrics
object.
Check out the AS3 Reference stuff for TextField and the TextLineMetrics

Thanks guys, I got it working :) The text is slightly badly aligned
sometimes, I'm going to look into Line Metrics and aliasing as it's only a
pixel or so out as the text is v small.Many many thanks again
