Step 1
Create a new flash document.
Step 2
Press Ctrl+J key on the keyboard (Document Properties) and set your dimensions as whatever you like. Select any color as background color.Set your Flash movie´s frame rate to 28 and click ok.
Step 3
Take the Text Tool (A) and type any text on the stage. For this example I have typed "flashfridge".

After that, choose Modify > Timeline > Distribute to Layers (Ctrl+Shift+D). Now you get this:
Step 5
Take the Selection Tool (V) and click on frame 5 of layer of the first letter and press F6 key. In my example that is letter "f". See the picture below.
Step 6

Step 7
Click on frame 3 of layer of the second letter, in my example that is letter "l", and press F6 key. After that, click on frame 8 and press again F6 key.
Step 8
Go back on the frame 3, and go again to the Properties Panel (Ctrl+F3).Then, repeat step 6. See the picture below.
