I am creating an animation for a client and I am having great difficulty. I
want to have a little bluish vertical electrical line pass from left to right
and as it passes I want to show each letter. So by the time the electrical
line passes completly the text is showing. Is there a way to do this with 3D
Studio and/or Animator Pro? Please, any help would be of benefit. Thanks.

Hi, Dean, I mainly use 3D Studio, so here is my suggestion to doing this
elsctricity text thing. You can use the Imagine FX (from Sheriber) IPAS, which
includes a lightin AXP. You can simply move the AXP accross the top of the
letters to create the electircal line effect. Then for the text, you can use an
animated map for opacity, such as wiping from left to right, maybe you can even
fractal the aniamted bitmaps, so the edge will kind of "wave".
This way, the text will show from left to right.
