I’m using a typewriter effect for some text. It works fine when the text field is left justified and text appears from left to right. If the field is justified to the right, the text appears from right to left. If I have the text field justified to the right, is it possible for me to have the text appear from **left to right**?

```auto
function TextEffect(location){
        myText = "";
        type = 0;
        this.onEnterFrame = function() {
                myText = location;
                description.text = myText.substr(0, type);
                type<myText.length ? type += 2 : delete this.onEnterFrame;
        };
}

```

Thanks
