Here's what I know:

I have all of the names in a pre-comp. Each layer is set to one frame. That= precomp is dropped in to the main and used as the source layer for my text= ured polygons. The order of names is irrelevant so I was trying to use Rand= om Play once but I also though about using Split Clip.

At frame 0 physics is set to 1, at frame 1 physics is set to 0 so that my p= articles freeze.

What I can't figure out is how to get each name in to the cloud but onl= y once. Particular is still generating multiple copies of the same name (in= some cases).

I figure part of the trick lies within the particles per second value but I= can't quite wrap my head around it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
