text.sourceText to increment appearance of Source Text – one character at a time
I need to do a type on effect but I need to use the sourceText property to do this. It’ll be doubly good to include a time-control to set the stable state before the next character appears.
So, first character appears. Then hold. The second character is added. Repeat until all characters appear.
I’ve gotten this far but only one character appears after each change –
——————-
s=text.sourceText;
holdTime = 1.0;
j = Math.floor(time/holdTime);
s[j]
——————-TIA

Try changing the last line to:
s.substr(0,j+1)
