Hi,

If I import text into Flash using PHP is there anyway I can animate that text?

Ideally I want to use PHP to strip certain text from a database and then animate the text that is stripped.

For example if get the word **Bob** into flash using PHP, is there anyway I can make the word **Bob** move across the screen, fade or whatever?

I was think it may be possible if I got the word into a movie clip symbol and then applied the effects (such as fade) to the movie it would work??

Any information on this or if anybody knows of a relevant tutorial I would be very greatful!
