How to use the FlepCharCode class:

Insert the flepstudio folder with the FlepCharCode class in it, following this path:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\Classes\

I have the English version of Flash, it’s easily guessed where it should go for any other language

- import the class like so: import flepstudio.FlepCharCode;

- create a MovieClip

- make sure that the SWF includes the used fonts ( see this article )

- initiate the classes passing the needed parameters

- add the MovieClip to the DisplayObject with addChild()

See following examples:

import flepstudio.FlepCharCode;
var clip:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
var frase:String='Luna Rossa è la barca più bella';
var font:String='Arial';
var colore_font:Number=0x000000;
var misura_font:Number=24;
var spazio_lettere:Number=0;
var velocita:Number=5;
var colore_sfondo:Number=0;
var colore_bordo:Number=0;
var sfondo:Boolean=false;
var bordo:Boolean=false;
var bold:Boolean=true;
var allineamento:String='sinistra';

var flep:FlepCharCode=new FlepCharCode(clip,frase,font,colore_font,misura_font,
spazio_lettere,velocita,colore_sfondo,colore_bordo,sfondo,bordo,
bold,allineamento);

clip.x=100;
addChild(clip);

import flepstudio.FlepCharCode;
var clip:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
flep=new FlepCharCode(clip,'FlepStudio.org','arial',0xFFFFFF,30,0,5,
						 0xFF0033,0,true,false,true,'centro');
clip.x=100;
clip.y=20;
addChild(clip);

var clip2:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
flep=new FlepCharCode(clip2,'risorse gratuite per Flash CS3','arial',0x666666,20,0,5,
						 0,0,false,false,false,'sinistra');
clip2.x=100;
clip2.y=clip.y+50;
addChild(clip2);

var clip3:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
flep=new FlepCharCode(clip3,'prova la classe FlepCharCode','arial',0x333333,16,0,5,
						 0,0x333333,false,true,false,'sinistra');
clip3.x=100;
clip3.y=clip2.y+50;
addChild(clip3);

var clip4:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
flep=new FlepCharCode(clip4,'utile e semplice da utilizzare','arial',0x333333,16,0,5,
						 0xCCFF00,0x333333,true,true,false,'sinistra');
clip4.x=100;
clip4.y=clip3.y+50;
addChild(clip4);

Hi Flep,

I get trouble when I use flepcharcode class.
I get error : 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
Can you send me a example of use? Main.fla and main.as aren't in the attach files flepstudio.zip (2.3kb)
Thanks

[Flep]

HI again,
I worked a little bit since I send the last 'post'!
I change my files as you can discover in the attached file typewriter.zip

But another error :

5001: The name of package 'flepstudio' does not reflect the location of this file. Please change the package definition's name inside this file, or move the file. C:\Documents and Settings\Cyrille\Mes documents\flash\flepcharcode\FlepCharCode.as

I put flepcharcode.as into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\Classes\ so as you tell us !

What's wrong?

Thanks

[Flep]

Hi,
delete the flepstudio folder into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\Classes\

New Main.as imports:

package
{
	import flash.display.MovieClip;
	import flash.text.TextField;
	import FlepCharCode;

New FlepCharCode imports:

package
{
	import flash.display.MovieClip;
	import flash.text.TextField;
	import flash.text.TextFormat;
	import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
	import flash.events.Event;

[kub]

It runs well
Thank you !

Hello!! Flep... I think this class is very nice I use it and it work very good.. I use it with the main.as, without this.. Using the functions and importing the FlepCharCode into my file, and it's nice.. I could make the 4 text animation to.. So if you want it, let me know.. So i can send you this.. and help others..

I want to ask you if it is any way to use this class whit calling the text from an XML file.. If it is.. let me know how to do it.. Thanks..
