Dynamic Text on Sine Curve Path?

Hi,

This is really a kinda urgent requirement, I hate being urgent on forums since help takes as long as it takes usually, but I’m being pressured at the moment and can’t do it.

Basically I need to have text from a dynamic/input textfield to appear in a wavy line pattern automatically. Now I’m pretty sure it can be done fairly easily with the right knowledge but I unfortunately lack that knowledge.

The idea I had was that a string is broken into individual letters and each is placed along a sine curve of a set length/width - the string/characters are repeated if necessary in order that the full width of the curve is covered. Also note that the text need not be rotated to match the lines, only _x and _y values need to be adjusted.

I have to produce a design with dynamic text similar to this (my ascii art skills are crap so please imaging that these are wavy lines rather than zig zags):

Please please please, I need your help - desperately, I have nothing to offer apart from the satisfaction of producing a wavy text pattern and from knowing that you have saved me from a breakdown.

Thanks guys,

Jon
