blinking text/letter

[neobadlands]

Is there an easier way to make text or letters blink for a while, without using alpha-effect frame by frame?!

If anyone knows, please let me know.

Thanx

First write some text and make the text box a 'Graphic' symbol (select and press F8). Name it something like 'Text'. Make a new 'Movie' symbol (Ctrl+F8) and name it 'Blink', or similar. In Frame 1 of 'Blink' insert an instance of 'Text'. Insert a blank keyframe (F7) on Frame 5, for instance, and add some additional frames for good measure, maybe up to Frame 8. Now return to Scene 1 and place an instance of 'Blink' on the stage. Voila, the text will appear, disappear, appear, disappear for as long as 'Blink' is present. If you still don't understand, I'll be more than happy to send you a .fla with how its done. [sig][/sig]

I know what you mean. Good idea.
Well, I did as you told me to, but if I put the movie on the stage, it still won´t blink, although it does blink, if I test it in the library ("Play"-Button).
I guess I should take a look at your .fla!

Thank you man...

I've uploaded a simple example at:

Take a look at that, and no matter what you do, keep on Flashing! (Meaning using the Macromedia product, not indulging in the act of displaying ones 'privates' in public) [sig][/sig]

Hey, thanx for the file.
My problem was, that I expected it to blink within Flash. But as I know now, you have to publish it first.
All I can say is thank you Mr. Anderson.
