yes it is. if you read in text from a text file you can just change that text to change the animated text. you will need to use loadVariables() or LoadVars() to read in data from a text file.

about the fade effect, thats not hard to do, it involves typing your text, selecting it, then breaking the text. then selecting all the text and distributing it to layers. then selecting keyframe 10 or so on each letter layer and inserting a keyframe on each layer. then at keyframe ten move the letters on each layer down about 100pixels. at keyframe1 on each layer, select the letter and change the alpha to 0. you will need to create a motion tween between frames 1 and 10 on each letter layer. then last, to make the letters fall at differnt times, just select each layers frames from 1-10, and slide the whole animation to the right.
