I want to load some text into a dynamic text field and then apply some effects on each letter. How is that possible?

im not sure how you would make each letter different but what u need to do is give the text field a variable name like “text” or whatever then just place the code:  
\_root.text = “whatever text you want”

Yes, that i know but i want to apply an effect on each letter. And I’m loading the text from a textfile.

Maybe i have to separate the text into an array with one letter in each index but how can i do that??
