How do I turn typed text into sprites?

For my English grammar game (super exciting, I know) I have a text box. I want to type in a sentence, for example "I love fishing" and I want to hit return and turn the individual words in that sentence into sprites.

So, after I hit return I have 3 different sprites, one that says "I", one that says "love", and one that says "fishing". Then you can move them around and rearrange the sentence and whatnot but I know how to do that part. I don't know how to get them from the text box to moveable sprites.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg

In this example I create a sprite with drag and drop behaviour and a text object with pin to behaviour, I then pin the text to the sprite. maybe this will help you. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink">

Here's an update, its a bit rough and ready but does what you need, me thinks.

Thank you very much. That's exactly what I needed. It's hard to know where to start on these projects.

I took the example2 and I added a text box and changed it so that the text in the text box becomes the split text and it works great.

I ran into this problem now: if you type "I love watching TV" and hit enter it works, it makes each word a sprite. But then if I type in something different and shorter after it still reads that last sentence, so if I type in "I have" and it enter it will spit out "I" "have" "watching" "TV". I'm studying up on arrays and different stuff in your event sheet i didn't understand so hopefully I figure the answer on my own but I figured I would ask.

Thanks again, really appreciate it.

Ahhhh okay I see now, it's making the sprites from the array, and they are still in the array from the sentence before. Answered my own question.

Thanks

korbaach Wow, that's fantastic. Thank you very much.

I see you randomly assigned colors to them with the animation frames on the sprites. I want to, and know I know I can, assign certain parts of speech to their own specific colors.

For example, I would want all pronouns to be blue. Pronouns being "I, you, he, she, it...etc". I can find a way to make them blue, but only because there aren't too many of them. I can say if text="you" or if text="he" then make it blue.....But with something where there are thousands of possibilities what would I do?

If I wanted all verbs to be red, there are thousands of verbs in English, so I can't just enter them in like I did with the blue pronouns. How would I go about that? If it's even possible

Thanks
