Hi everyone,

I've been fiddling with trying to put together the following type of text animation:
  1. line one types on left to right, one letter at a time.
  2. pause
  3. line one shifts down by one line to the position of line two
  4. line one types new text left to right at the top of the stack
  5. repeat
So in effect the text types on and as the new text is about to appear, the old text shifts down to make space, thereby ensuring that the new text is always at the top of the stack.

I've been unable to figure this out using the text animator and doing it manually line by line would take forever. Has anyone come across a solution for this - expression or script or plugin. I think this style used to be available in the Useful Things but they're gone now.

Anyhow, any help would be really appreciated.
