How is this done?

See how the text comes in as random generated text before revealing the real text. Its like that matrix or space aged thing happening.

Here are some code that I found, but don’t know how to modify it to do this:

```auto
var str:String = " What is the answer";

var sInt = setInterval(writeIt,1);
var count:Number = 0;
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.attachSound("type");

function writeIt() {
	if(count == 0) {
		s.start(0,1000);
	}
	theText.text = str.substring(0,count);
	count += 5;
	if(count > str.length) {
		clearInterval(sInt);
		s.stop();
	}
}

```

I don’t mind how this is setup though, it looks pretty straight forward, it just doesn’t do that random generated text to reveal teh real text.
