I want to do something like when ppl type in some texts, the program will convert every character of the text to a movieclip symbol, so I can animate individual characters. Is there a way to do something like that?
Thx in advance~

yes, you can create (in the authoring or with a.s.) a movieclip that contains a textfield and you can assign a linkage id to the textfield.

you can then use the flash string methods to assign each letter to its own movieclip/textfield (that you created in the first paragraph) using attachMovie(). position your letters and animate or animate the movieclip in the first paragraph in the authoring environment by putting that movieclip into a timeline and use a frame based animation. remove the linkage id on the non-animated movieclip with a textfield and assign a linkage id to the animated movieclip (that contains your movieclip that contains your textfield).
