Can one animate dynamic text and an image (graphic or mc) together?

For instance, I'd like to animate some text, and within it a rectangle representing an input text box. When the animated text comes to rest in the middle of the screen, I could replace the rectangle with an actual input text box and the user could type in something.

(I was thinking of placing a tag of some sort in the text that flash could follow and swap out for a rectangle mc until the animation was finished, then making the actual input text box align to its location and become visible/usable when the animation halted.)


Any thoughts appreciated!

embed the input text in a movieclip - then you can animate it like any other symbol
