Hiya, I am wanting to create an effect where text will appear on the screen
as if it is being written by a pen. I am going to set about writing a class
to achieve this and wanted to get the group's thoughts on if I am going
about this the right way.
My idea is that I could create all of my text in textfield then convert the
textfield somehow into a BitmapData object, then I could use the BitmapData
class to scan through the image starting at the top left and figure out
which pixels are coloured by the text and then I duplicate the BitmapData
object and colour the pixels gradually. My class would need to know which
angle the text should be appearing (writing) in. The font I use would have
to use 'joined up' writing also obv.

Does anyone think this would work or is there a simple way to achieve what I
am looking to do?

Thanks,
Ali
