I want the words to come onto the screen as if someone was typing them while the movie played.

If anyone knows of a tutorial for it please tell me thanks.

Do the tutorials for Flash 5 work for Flash MX 2004?

((An I’m sure who ever renamed this could have answered atleast one of these questions :-P))

it can be done  
ON the stage you tyoe your message (STATIC , all Ive done so far)  
Now (make sure you have arrow selector)  
Right click on words (you typed)  
Choose breakApart  
right click on words agian  
now choose distrubite to layers (it should make a layer for each letter)  
Now you can control each letter (in it’s own frame)

Worked for me, try it see if it will for you too  
for a movie clip-graphic you have to make new layer
