A couple of questions - Text Related....

[Mojo_Bone]

First, let me start off by saying thank you to everyone on the boards who have provided me with assistance in the past - You have made using such a wonderful tool even easier to use.

Ok, on to business...

I am creating the credits screens for my game and what I would like to do is the following -

1. For certain items at the beginning of the credits, have them type out on the screen, typewriter style (or dot matrix style...) and that particular credit stay on the screen for x seconds (I know how to do the timer control), and then fade out (using fade effects).

2. I would like the rest of the credits to scroll from bottom to top, similar to the closing credits of a movie.

I have all of the fonts and graphics that I need, just need help implementing this. I am somewhat stuck here.

Finally, I would like to do this without converting all of the text to graphic files....

Sample code, demo MFA's, etc. are always appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Make sure all the objects you want to scroll have follow the frame checked, and all the objects you don't want to have scroll to have follow the frame un checked.

Then you just make the frame bigger virtically and you and use the built in scrolling features.

I know Nivram has a good typewriter text example on his site.
You have the source text that the program reads from and it progressively prints that content into another string.
You can even set it to print several characters at once if you want it to print quickly.

I also have a credits example on my new site that may help.
