Speech template for critique

[arfa]

I have put this together and it works OK but I am still learning and am very interested in suggestions to improve this or alternative approaches.

Just tested and it seems fine. There may have been a lag between posting here and my uploading - I have variable connectivity.

Arfa, the icon in this program indicates that it is mmf1.5. Is this adapted from someone's example using mmf1.5?

Thanks

I had 1.5 installed - now not.
I have been toggling 2.41 > 2.51

My example is kind of a personlised combination of text blitter and speech bubble ideas. Obviously using Speech Bubble I can't claim complete originality.

But... a critique/suggestions..?

[arfa]

Been thinking...
I wonder if I started with the Speech Bubble example - created 2006?

I am relatively new to MMF code and, while this code pretty much works, it feels a bit clunky. I have been playing with it for a while and, hoping to learn, thought there might be some suggestions to improve - more efficient, less lines, another approach (especially the timer).

I have plans to use it fairly intensively and would like to start with the best I can. A drag to change things half way...

I have not done any flash conversion so no idea if this will convert.
