Today we are going to make a Flash Animation, in which you will see Hand written text. You can make Text Animation of Drawing Text quiet easily. Hopefully you will like it. You can also download Source FLA file in the last to check it:
1. Lets start with a new Document of size 560×200, with any background color. Write any text of your own choice, I’m writing Stunning Mesh, and font & Size will also depend upon you.
2. Now Press Ctrl+B Twice. (It will break apart text, pressing Ctrl+B once will separate each characters and pressing Twice will convert text into curve).
3. From Top layer panel click on the First Frame on which you have written your text and press F6 key, it will copy the text into new frame.
4. Pick the Eraser Tool 
and erase some part of your text from the last end. Like I’m going to erase some part of G from the end.
5. After erasing some part from the end, again press F6 and then erase some more part. (the lessor part you delete, the better animation you will have and smooth too. Don’t forget to keep Proportion, like in frame 2 you have deleted 10 px area of G from last, then after pressing F6 again delete 10 px area from the end.)
6. Now repeat these steps unless you erase whole text. Erasing should be having in Sequence, like you are writing the text.
7. In the following picture you must be seeing that how many times I pressed F6 and erased some part of the text:
Now all text removed and we have a lot of Frames:
8. Now click on the Layer name and it will select all Frames:
9. Right click on any Frame and select Reverse Frames:
10. Here is the animation you will get:
