Making text appear to be typed

[jeffcravener]

how do you make static text appear to be typed during the movie, so one letter comes in at a time?

(also, can it be done with dynamic text?)

it works ALMOST perfectly....

How do i get the text box to grow with the letters...I have this but it does not work:

if (q < text.length) {
textbox.width = textbox.width + 50;
textbox = text.substring(0, q);
q++;
} else {
textbox.width = text.length;
textbox = text;
gotoAndStop(1);
}
