Integrating this framework is simple:

1. Include libMFLAnimatedLabel.a file and header files in your project.

2. Make sure your header search paths are pointing to the folder you included libMFLAnimatedLabel.a in.

3. Ensure you're including the CoreText, CoreGraphics, and QuartzCore frameworks in your project.

There are two main methods to create an animation.

This allows you to just pass in a font and string:

- (MFLHintLabel *)createHintAnimationForText:(NSString*)text
                                    withFont:(UIFont*)font
                                 beginningAt:(CGPoint)startPoint
                                displayingAt:(CGPoint)displayPoint
                                    endingAt:(CGPoint)endPoint
                                inTargetView:(UIView*)view;

This allows you to pass in an already created label:

- (MFLHintLabel *)createHintAnimationForLabel:(UILabel*)label
                                  beginningAt:(CGPoint)startPoint
                                 displayingAt:(CGPoint)displayPoint
                                     endingAt:(CGPoint)endPoint
                                 inTargetView:(UIView*)view;

Your target view is the view you want your animation to display in.

Your startPoint is the position the animation will start from, if applicable to the animate on type you set.

Your display point is where your animation will display at, this is also the endpoint of your initial animation.

Your endpoint is the position your label will animate out to after displaying if applicable to the animate out type you set.

Notes

Displaying without running

Be sure to call prepareToRun after you finish setting up your MFLHintLabel. This will create the structure for your animation, add it to the targetView view hierarchy and ready it to be run. Call this if you want to show your animation at it's startPosition for some time before running the animation.

Memory Warning:

If you dictate only an On animation, you'll need to call:

[hintLabel cleanAndRemoveAnimation]

To remove the hintLabel from the target view, and ensure it is deallocated.

One Way Animation

If you wish to run only an On animation or an Off animation you must dictate either kMFLAnimateOnNone or kMFLAnimateOffNone

Completion Block

You may run your animation with a completion block like so:

[self.hintAnimation runWithCompletion:^{
    [[[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Completed"
                               message:@"This was fired from the completion block"
                              delegate:nil
                     cancelButtonTitle:@"Cool!"
                     otherButtonTitles:nil] show];
}];
