Working with the Type On Parameter Group
The Type On parameter group offers several options for creating animated writing or “type-
on” effects.
Text Type On adjusts the percentage of the text that is visible in each frame, allowing you to
create animated typing effects. This value is measured as a percentage of the complete text.
For example, if Text Type On is set to 50, the Þrst half of the text is visible. If Text Type On is
set to 100, all the text is visible.
