DOS command scroll effect

[bhaydon]

I have looked everywhere but I cannot find anything similar to what I am looking for. I am making a small computer in the back of a movie look like commands are scrolling on the screen. I would like it to look similar to (insert non GUI platform here). It does not have to be detailed or legible, just look like it is doing something. Thanks for who can help!

at a guess you are looking for something like this

make the screen of the computer a dynamic text field

add to timeline

dosCommands = [">some command",">some other command",">yet another command"];

i = 0;

addText = setInterval(showText,250);

function showText(){
mytext.text +=doscommands + newline;
i++;
if(i==2)i=0;
}

just dont forget to clear the interval at some point

And also don't forget to wrap such code when posting it here on TT, with "code" tags. Otherwise you might end up with an italicized post, and missing or wrong code!
