I have goofed with it and can't figure it out...sry.

Not seen it done in Flash before, but I'll take a look at it.

This is about the closest I can get.

WOW, how did you do that?

Easy peasy really, just make a background in the light green in Photoshop, put a few drops of water on it, then copy it to another layer and add the text in a slightly lighter green. Save an image without the text, and one with it.

Import both images into Flash. Set the one without text as the 1st layer. Add the one with the text above it and break it apart. Add keyframes at every other frame. Then it's just a case of erasing part of the image with the text so it looks like it's being written.

Add a few droplets of water running down and ur done!

To make it more realistic, I guess it might be worth using a slightly thicker font, to look more like a finger had drawn the text.

Thats PERFECT!! codezwiz strikes again!!

thank you!!!!
