uhh, you could go through the hassle of animating every letter by itself (don’t have to do shape tweening, just convert each letter to a graphic symbol and motion tween them) .
there’s also programs out there like swish and wildforms which have a lot of different text effects, but they cost money and the 1337 flashers snigger at the mere thought of someone using them.
