How do I create a handwriting animation in flash?

How do I create a handwriting animation in flash? Specifically in the opening credits of my cartoon, rather than just dissolving titles, I would like to create the effect of real-time handwriting of the title...for example "Bongo's Scary Nightmare" would start off with the animated stylized handwriting of B o n g o ' s...etc...I think it would look cool and vibrant....have you come across a tutorial for this effect?

Hey! ive never posted in this forum b4, but anyway.

i dont really know for sure, but if it is possible to use text as a mask, i would do that with your text and then have tweened animation on a path to move around behind the text and appear to fill it in.

hey i may be wrong!
