Man… its like a domino effect. This question is never asked then in the past 2 days it has been asked like 4 times :crazy: Jubba wrote a great tutorial on actionscripted text effects… check it out 🙂 [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/ascript\_text\_animation.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/ascript_text_animation.htm) ---

don’t get SWISH. if you are serious about getting into Flash and you want to learn don’t even look at SWISH. It will only delay your progession in the long-run. ---

Thats true. And it is easy to tell a swish animation from a flash animation. Swish animations tend to look VERY amature. ---
