Using Text

Note: Make sure that the Map Animation parameter is set to To Entire Object.

In the Parameter row, click the Add pop-up menu, choose Face, then choose Opacity.

Set the Opacity to the lowest value you want to use in your animation. In this example,
Opacity is set to 0% so that the text characters begin completely transparent and fade
in to become opaque.

To create a softer transition between each character, you can adjust the Spread
parameter.

To adjust the Spread parameter:

In the Behaviors tab, drag the Spread slider (or type a number in the value slider).

This example uses a Spread value of 4.
