Cycling Text Updated

Hey - I wanted to come up with a better way to cycle through text, like the way thats listed in the tutorials somewhere. I didn’t want to have to duplicate movieclips, and I didn’t want the letters to appear out of order. I think I came up with something pretty good, but I bet it can be improved upon…

_root.onLoad = function() {
 text = "BEATBOX INDUSTRIES TWO THOUSAND SIX";
 alphabet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWQXYZ ";
 letters = new Array();
 i = 0;
}
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
 if (i < text.length) {
  _root["letter"+i] == text.charAt(i) ? _root["letter"+i] = text.charAt(i) : _root["letter"+i] = alphabet.charAt(random(alphabet.length));
  letters* = _root["letter"+i];
  _root["letter"+i] == text.charAt(i) ? i++ : null;
  _root["letter"+i] = alphabet.charAt(random(alphabet.length));
  _root.text_txt.text = letters.join("");
 }
 
 if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)) {
  trace(text.length);
  delete(letters);
  letters = new Array();
  text = text_2;
  i = 0;
 }
}
