  Changing text – from slow to fast

  Posted by Hey Chong on April 12, 2013 at 7:59 pm

  Hi,

  I have found many examples of expressions for text to flash on the screen using words that I specify. However, is it possible to:

  1) Control the speed that the words change – They would start out slow and then work up to rapidly changing

  2) Control opacity and scale – have the slower ones fade in a bit and grow bigger and fade out

  in the expression? I feel there must be a way to control these in the same expression but I’m not sure how to.

  Thanks alot!

  Also – the expression I found for simple changing text is:

  words = [“Text”, “More”, “List”, “Hi”, “Something”, “Article”, “Code”];
  count = words.length;
  currentWord = random(0, parseInt(count));
  words[parseInt(currentWord)];

  which works. I think it is at default for one word per frame though.
