Keyboard Event to reveal predetermined text

[Andrew_M2]

I'm trying to create a script that would have predetermined text reveal as somebody was typing. No matter what key they press, the correct letters come up, and each letter would be reveiled by a keypress.  This would make it look as if someone were typing in a document in real time. I'm completely stuck on this and would really appreciate the help. 

Thanks in advance!

Canvas or AS3?

Not sure what you set up is, so hard to know but...

In canvas,  if you have a text in a symbol you could have a mask to releave each letter. so a letter per frame. each frame has a stop. Then on keypress you could use gotoAndStop(x++) which would go to the next frame.

 x++

 this.symbolName.gotoAndStop(x);
