++ Here is how it is done:

++ 

++ -Convert each letter into a symbol and put each symbol in 

++ its own layer. 

++ -Create a new keyframe for each symbol about 10 to 20 frames 

++ from the first. 

++ -Skew the symbols in the first row of frames about 10 times, 

++ -flip them vertically 

++ -and move them about 50 pixels down. 

++ -covert them to alpha 0

++ -create motion tween

++ -make the first key frame of the last letter start 2 frames 

++ before the one befor and so on.

++ -have patience and coffee.

++ 

++ As someone already said, it is all hard work. No program 

++ will do it for you.

++ 

++ My pedagogic skills are limited, and my English is shacky. 

++ If this does not make sence I am sorry.
