Jittery text in Flash

  • Grab the brush tool. Draw the word "jitter," or a brief phrase. Circle it.
  • Press "F7" to add a blank keyframe
  • Find and click the onion skin button at the bottom of the timeline (second from left in a group of five)
  • Use the brush to write over your first word, now faintly visible as an onion-skinned ghost image. It should be close but not match perfectly.
  • Press "F7" to insert another blank keyframe. Write your word or phrase one more time.
  • Choose Control>Loop Playback from the drop-down menu
  • Press Enter to see your movie
