Thanks, I do work with flash on a creation side but never have programmed it before. I figured it would be as simple as moving the gif so many twips/pixels over in the next frame. Didn't know it had to be removed then added again.

If someone want to see the resulting Flash file before downloading and running the code, here it is:
http://www.getafile.com/cgi-bin/merlot/ ... sample.swf
The code shows exactly how to do all that you see in that Flash movie, not just write the moving text, but everything to create and 'paint' that Flash movie.
I hope more coders get into this Flash stuff and we can do together better ideas for getting nice text animations, objects, etc.
*If you see this example, once you saw it complete, you can right click on it and get it to the beggining, then go frame by frame watching it to see how it does everything that its indicated on the code.

That sounds great but the dll hasn't been updated since 2001 and no support for movie clips, plus others. Don't get me wrong, I still want to learn from this. Hopefully we can do it all in PB someday without relying on some one elses dll.

Maybe porting the ming library ?
I don't know if that would be possible (I don't talk c++) but that comes with source code and is more up to date.

This one is more or less the same as the msscript control lib used in this example, with the big difference that the dll allow you to receive the activex events becuase sometimes is very usefull to be able to receive the events.

I was talking about the flash part. Doesn't your dll do the same as swfobjs.dll?
