I have been doing the animated text tutorial, cos I just love the way you can get the text to appear in and do all kinds of fun things.
What I really want to do though is to have different lines with different font sizes.
However my actionscripting is as yet fairly limited, so I can’t work out how to do this. I thought I could turn the script into a movie symbol and do it that way but it doesn’t seem to work and I am not sure what else to try.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Here is a fla of what I have managed to do so far and here is a swf of something like I want it to end up looking but with the text coming in in an animated way like the first file. This one is just done using masks and I felt there must be a more elegant solution using action script.
Actually this is the first time I have used this forum and I can’t see how to put an attachment in so I will email it instead.
