What you want to do involved some complex AS.

I have a _possibly_ simpler example, though it doesnt skew (something which could be easily enough incorporated with a motion tween) here. Now its not simple but losts link is apparently “complex” so this might be another solution 🙂

now theree is a little extra going on because the number of characters is dynamic, but its pretty easy to understand how that works (if you can handle the rest of it ;))
