Is there a cool aproach to making a string look like it is vibrating?

Did you mean like a piece of string? And not a string of characters?

If so, try this code out (paste it into new AS 3.0 document). Set the document frame rate to 30 fps.
Click and drag the string and then release it to make it 'twang'.

Text field would be fine. The TextField class features x and y values,
so it can be moved without being wrapped inside a movie clip. Text fields
also accept filter effects directly, which is kinda nice.

Not sure what the OP means by vibrating, though. Could mean anything.
