Theres a few text effects that I’ve seen that are very cool. 1. The words drop down and bounce, each lettter individually 2. 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 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](http://www.flashkit.com) ---

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.
