Animating text tracking and leading

Animating the tracking and leading of a text object lets you keep a single, editable word or phrase on the timeline while distributing its characters vertically and horizontally. But when LiveMotion exports such an animation, it generates a new text object on every frame, resulting in an SWF file that is much larger and plays back more slowly than if you had animated each letter separately. In this case, consider using the Convert Into > Objects command and animating the individual letters. You can still group the animated letters to get the effect of working with a single text object.
