    text
    copied!<p>I would like some help (and I'm new to this site)</p> <p>I want a typewriter-effect. So that it looks like the code in the string is typed character by character (for an animation). However, I get a #1009 back. It talks about a null object reference (the error is in Dutch). </p> <p>My dynamic text field is in the same scene, on a different layer. codeTekst is the instance name. It is classic, dynamic text. Multiline behaviour and not embedded in a symbol. I'm using Flash CS5. Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>import flash.utils.Timer; import flash.events.TimerEvent; var string:String = 'import flash.events.Event import flash.utils.Timer; import flash.events.TimerEvent; import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.media.Sound; import flash.media.SoundChannel; stop(); var beginSchermSpraak:Sound = new BeginSchermSpraak(); var beginSchermSpraakKanaal:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel(); var helpKnopSpraak:Sound = new HelpKnopSpraak(); var helpKnopSpraakKanaal:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel(); var eersteKeer:Boolean; var gebouw:uint; var vandaan:Boolean; var timer:Timer = new Timer(1, 1); splashMC.x=-9001; startKnop.x=-9001; if (eersteKeer == false) { splashMC.x=250; startKnop.x=250; beginSchermSpraakKanaal = beginSchermSpraak.play(); beginSchermSpraakKanaal.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, helpKnopMaken); startKnop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startTimer); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, vervaag); } else {}'; var i:uint = 0; var timer:Timer = new Timer(10); timer.start(); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, goTime); function goTime(e:TimerEvent){ codeTekst.appendText(string.charAt(i)); i++; if(i&gt;=string.length) { timer.stop(); } } </code></pre> <p>Thanks for any ideas :)</p>
