Freebie: Multiline Flash Text with Formatting
Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2015 03:13
Hi fellow Resolume Flashers ...
I saw someone was looking for this on another thread, and I was thinking of posting it anyway, so here it is.
A simple multiline Flash Text SWF I made for use with Resolume. It has a range of text formatting parameters (font size, Y position, leading, L & R margins, alignment (left, centre, right, justify), and white\black text toggle). Uses a clean sans-serif font.
Use a # character to force line breaks. The SWF will convert these to newline characters before displaying.Obviously you can't paste multiline text into Resolume as Resolume will only pass a single line at a time to the SWF.
It's 640x360 which will scale up to 1920x1080 or any other 16:9 size perfectly. Make sure you set the size of the clip to your composition size for maximum smoothness.
Text has a slight drop shadow so you don't need to worry too much about it disappearing.
Offered for your use without any warranty or guarantee, but I hope you find it useful.
I'm not a seasoned Flash coder so if anyone spots any possible improvements let me know.
Cheers
Richard
