I am creating a file driven message display. I want to specify the text and the effecft from an external file. It seems that I will need to create a function call for each effect and pass the proper peramaters, but I cannot find any documentation regarding the paramatres available for each effect. Is such documentation available, or do you have a better suggestion as to how to use dynamic text and effects?

Also - There does not seem to be a way to edit posts. I inadvertantly posted this in another thread, and I cannto find a way to delete it.

Hello Marc,

I think it would be easier if you would create your effect on the stage and configure it using the interface and set only the text property dynamically before starting the effect. This way you can configure the effect parameters from the interface which is much easier than configuring from actionscript. After setting the text property you just have to call the initEffect and startEffect methods in order to start the effect.

Best regards,

I understand, but I want to set up something where I can pass both the text and effect information from an external file.

Hello Marc,

Unfortunately, considering the large number of effects and also the large number of parameters, the effects customization from ActionScript isnt currently supported. We are taking this though into consideration and we will implement it in our next version.

Sincerely,
Monica Chitu.
