TxEff is a AS3.0 Flash Component especially developed for web designers that need to include text animations within their Flash movies in a fast and reliable manner.
The TxEff is the highest level of artistic touch that a Flash component can bring to a simple Flash movie with text. You can tweak the effects in infinite ways to get the desired text animation. Just write the desired text/htmlText inside a TextField, drag-and-drop the TxEff over it, and you're done.
The TxEff is conceptually similar to our best seller component, the MCTE V3, and it shares the XML V3 standards, however it is much more easier to use and configure than any other Jumpeye V3 component.
But hey, here comes the best part, use the online Effect DataBase and get the desired effect in seconds without learning what each pattern can do exactly, just grab the effect and set your TxEff in a single copy/paste action.

TxEff Component: The essential drag-and-drop component (plus 3 included patterns)
50+ TxEff Patterns: A large resource of patterns, already 52, but we constantly develop new patterns. However our plan is to create as many patterns as needed in order to cover all Flash text animations that can be done.

It’s easy, fast and reliable. There are 2 different ways you can add the TxEff component to a TextField object on the Stage.
1. Visual based
Drag&drop the TxEff component from the components panel right over an instance of a TextField on the stage just like you would drag&drop an Adobe Scrollbar over a Text Field. Then simply configure the parameters in order to get the effect you need.
2. Code based
You can instantiate the TxEff from ActionScript, dynamically or statically using the following syntax:
var txeffInstanceName:TXEFF = new TXEFF();
this.addChild(txeffInstanceName);
txeffInstanceName._targetInstanceName = "myTextField";
Note: You can code on a TxEff instance even after you drag&drop it manually over the TextField object.
Requirements
The target TextField instance used by the TxEff component must have the following settings:
dynamic text field type
render text as html
anti-alias for animation
embedded fonts
Restrictions and limitations
The target text field should meet the requirements specified in this document (type, html text, anti-alias and embedded fonts)
The target text field should have integer coordinates
The target text field should have at least the height of the text (in case of multi-lined text), otherwise it is possible that the last line(s) will not be displayed
The text field shouldn't be scaled (we recommend rather to increase the text font size than the text field's scaling)
The TxEff component instance should already be in the Display List when the _targetInstance parameter is set
The content of the target text field should be set using the TxEff component's htmlText property, not the TextField's htmlText property
The settings in the xml file will override the settings in the Component Inspector
UI Access
TxEff can be accessed from Components panel under TxEff – Jumpeye.
