Letterize [random text letter effect]

letterize in action
i always liked the random letter effect, so i decided to give a go in AS3 and make a class of it. All you have to do is pass the text field…i have not tested it on an html text field…(hmmmmmm, looks like i just found the next version)-Anyway, it’s pretty straight forward… for the demo you can update the text to be whatever you type, adjust the speed, and play with random vs orderly. The orderly version was more straighforward than the unorderly… could probably be cleaner, but this will do.
