Is there a way to add a behaviour to a shape (a rectangle) which will grow along with a typed text field?
This is possible to achieve with tedious animation, but any simpler way?
It would be amazing if we could add colours to Text Boxes.

If you want the rectangle to fill with each character as it appears, then you could use a Sequence Text behavior instead.
In the Sequence Text, Add Parameter > Format > Scale.
Set the Scale.X value to 0%.
Set the Spread to 0.
You can set the speed of the animation by increasing the End Offset parameter.
For the Rectangle:
Add Parameter Behavior > Link.
Set the Source Object to the Text with Source Parameter Object Width [Object Attributes > Size > Width]
If this isn't exactly what you want... there may be another way.
This is pure genius. It work. And I fine tuned the rectangle offset to give more breathing space to the end of each alphabet! works great! Thanks!
Great!
You're welcome!
I tried the same. Doesn't work.
This is awesome. Can I get in touch with you regarding something on Motion off these forums?
