Text Candy: How to pull off 'typewriter text'/RPG text print-outs?

The promotional bits claim Text Candy can do typewriter text, which to me means typing out a string letter by letter, with linebreak support. Since this is exactly what I need, I’ll be buying as soon I have an idea of how it works.

The reference documentation hints at how this might happen but doesn’t outright say it. Is there an easy example of how to do this?

(I see a few bits about setting an “inmode” but since there’s no animation going on - presumably just making characters appear, not do anything fancy - the elaborate way it’s shown in reference is pretty unclear.)

Use this function

MyText:applyInOutTransition
Be sure inMode is LEFT_RIGHT
The variable inCharDelay is your time between letters showing up, try setting it to 250. [import]uid: 110373 topic_id: 26521 reply_id: 107584[/import]
