Editing text in Action Script

Question

I am trying to edit the text in a text effect file. I opened
the ActionScript for the item and changed the text. However, only
the last 2 letters of the new text show up in the effect. Here's
the ActionScript. The text I"m trying to edit is on line 66.
function Rotator(x, y, text) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.ry = 0;
this.rz = 0;
this.radius = 80;
this.count = 0;
this.init(text);
Rotator.prototype.init = function(text) {
for(var i = 0; i < this.count; i++)
_root["char" + i].removeMovieClip();
this.count = text.length;
for(var i = 0; i < this.count; i++) {
_root.attachMovie("char", "char" + i, 1000+i);
_root["char" + i].char_shape.value = text.substr(i, 1);
Rotator.prototype.render = function() {
var x, y, z, prev_x, value, dist, persp = 200;
var angle = this.rz, delta = (Math.PI*2)/this.count;
var angle_deg = this.rz*180/Math.PI + 90, delta_deg =
360/this.count;
var sin_rz, cos_rz;
var sin_ry = Math.sin(this.ry);
var cos_ry = Math.cos(this.ry);
for(var i = 0; i < this.count; i++, angle+=delta,
angle_deg+=delta_deg)
sin_rz = Math.sin(angle);
cos_rz = Math.cos(angle);
x = this.radius * cos_rz;
y = this.radius * sin_rz;
prev_x = x;
x = prev_x * cos_ry;
z = -prev_x * sin_ry;
if(z > persp)
_root["char" + i]._visible = false;
else {
dist = persp/(persp - z);
value = 100 * dist;
with(_root["char" + i])
_x = x * dist + this.x;
_y = y * dist + this.y;
_xscale = value * cos_ry;
_yscale = value;
_alpha = value * dist;
_visible = true;
char_shape._rotation = angle_deg;
drag = false;
prev_x = 0;
prev_y = 0;
dx = 0.02;
dy = -0.1;
r = new Rotator(Stage.width/2, Stage.height/2, "<<
ekm.h1.ru << ekm.h1.ru ");
onMouseDown = function() {
setFocus();
prev_x = _xmouse;
prev_y = _ymouse;
drag = true;
stop();
onMouseUp = function() {
drag = false;
play();
onMouseMove = function() {
if(this.drag) {
r.ry += (dx = (_xmouse - prev_x) / 20);
r.rz += (dy = (_ymouse - prev_y) / 20);
r.render();
prev_x = _xmouse;
prev_y = _ymouse;

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
