I want letters to move across the screen, then line up to make a sentence. Do I have to create a seperate layer for each letter?

Hello,  
Yes you do need to create a layer per letter. That will allow each letter to move independently of the other letters.

I hope that helped. If you have any further questions or comments or, please don’t hesitate to reply back or post at the [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) message board.
