How do you spin a text and then make it into another text when the spin is finished? Look at: [abeautifulmind.com](http://abeautifulmind.com), their menu bars, when you mouse over, it spins to text, when you mouse out, it spins to Expressions.

It looked like they used blurred the text using photoshop and added some basic motion tweens.

I figured it out. They use fast, very very fast motion, from blur 0% to Blur 20% … on and forth to 100% then they just did the transform to make it look like it’s spinning…
