Just needed to vent that. I thought I was a pretty sharp guy, but Flash is making my brain hurt!

Seems to be a common misconception around here.

OK, I actually have made some progress, but I'm not 100% sure I did it the easy way...Is there a way to tween text and scale the text without converting each letter to a symbol? Which is how I assume most people create text effects?

I would try just converting a whole word, but when I would tween it all but 1 letter would drop out, so I would have to convert each letter to a symbol and that just slowed the process wayyy down...

If it is just texteffects you are after, Swish might do the job, if not .. Flash does take a lot of time and the most time consuming solution is - unfortunately - often the right one.

Not sure what it is what you exactly need though.

If you're looking for text effects you will find them on
http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Effec...ects/index.php

Your problem can be solved easily by using actionscript. There are mny good examples on Flashkit and all you have to do is modify the type of movement of one letter and the variable that specifies the text that will show.
