Theres a few text effects that I’ve seen that are very cool.
The words drop down and bounce, each lettter individually
text letters appear 1 after another, like a typewrigher
Is threre a tutorial anywhere on how to do this stuff, I know how to do it the long frustrating way(Making a movie clip for the text and indivudually editing every movement) but is there a better way to do these?
You know Swish?
Swish is softwere who make all this text effect, try it:
Swish home page
You might also check out the flash typer section of flashkit.com they have some nice effects there too. Swish was already mentioned, another good flash text animation program is [URL=http://www.wildform.com/swfx/]Wildform’s SWFX
Here is a great tutorial… I love messing around with my own effects with this tutorial…

With the swish thing, I made a text image. How do i export this image into my other flash movie?
When you use swish are you supposed to make your whole animation in it? If so this sucks, id rather use real flash, is there a way to just take the text effects from swish and use them in flash mx? Besides for just loading the movie of the animation into flash of course
You can import the .swf file into Flash. It will import as a frame by frame animation that you can’t really edit much, but its there.
Just export out of Swish as a .swf file the go to File/Import in Flash MX then find your .swf file and import it.
