Alright. I’m wondering if there’s anyway to create self-writing text like at [http://designstudiofurniture.com/](http://designstudiofurniture.com/) without animating it myself… not sure how to explain what I’m thinking though but like… action scripting it or making an engine that does it… don’t know. ;O  
Thanks.

I’d love to be proven wrong, but I don’t think there’s a reasonable programattic way to go about that in Flash. :-/

If there is a way to import the image of the text you want and redraw it with the drawing API based on the color of the bitmap it may be possible.

It’s possible that it could be done but I wouldn’t want to be the one to do it.  
I highly doubt it would be possible for it to be done such that it looked as fluid as in that animation.
