How do I split Dynmaic Text into Seprate Movie Clips?

Hey,

I am pretty new to the actionscript scene, and am wanting to do something that surpasses my knowledge.

I am wanting to make a flash animation that uses Flashvars to pass a text variable to the flash movie. This Text will then be split into separate movie clips, and sent spinning around an orbit (motion guide) much like a comet.

Any resources or help would be appreciated as I have not found any as yet.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,
Chris.
