Hello everyone,

I have found a great tutorial online however it is too advanced for me to operate a surgery on. The .fla that is provided here: [http://www.actionscript.org/showMovie.php?id=64](http://www.actionscript.org/showMovie.php?id=64) takes a user text input and allows the user to apply different effects to it. I want to use one of the effects and apply it to a single static text in a new flash project.

Can anyone help me with doing that from this file?

I took it apart already but it seems that there are more strings attached than I could figure out.

Thanks!
