Libraries for text animation in Flex / Actionscript ?

Question

Are there any good libraries for cool text animation effects for use in Actionscript (for use in an intro screen or banner).

I've given up tryin to use Flash itself because that takes forever, and I dont know which of the many flash text animation tools to choose from.

I'd like to be able to dynamically product cool text effects with different messages.

Answer 1

There is http://www.txeff.com/ which is pretty awesome although a little expensive. It even has an effect editor.

Answer 2

txeff is definitely the best thing out there.

In October they have a promotion for their new version which is only $99 and has some great new features. You can use it in actionscript or flash.

Of course i bought it yesterday for $179! ahh

Answer 3

Degrafa is a powerful MXML-based library for doing animations. It makes it very easy to create dynamic animations that can be updated by a designer or driven by external data, since it takes advantage of the Flex framework and MXML.

Answer 4

Extensive list of AS3 tweening libraries (among other things) at AS3 Code Libraries

Answer 5

Try SplitTextField from the creator of the great TweenMax. Another option will be to create a banner with bannersnack and load it into your app. The paid version is not expensive and they have cool effects.

Answer 6

Hey! check out the TextAnim library. A class for dynamic text animation in AS3, that is event based, tween engine independent and sure, it's free!

Answer 7

I can only recommend the TextAnim class by Guindex. very easy to set up in AS3 and yet quite powerful!
