According to the text itself, it is all done with actionscripting.

Apparently, a tutorial is available somewhere, but I got so tired of

watching that text slo-o-o-o-o-o-owly display that I left it before the

message was complete. It might be a pretty decent technique when used

with a small amount of text, but I believe the average person can read

**much** faster than the rate of that particular display. I see a lot of

*very* slow text display in Flash and find it annoying. I realize that

not everyone reads at the same rate, but still . . . I saw a site that

used 20 seconds to fade-in the text of an 8-word corporate slogan!


Sorry to rant, Kay. That isn't what you were expecting when you posted

your question. :-)


Best of luck with your Flash,

Ken
