Keep in mind I am making this for my name which has 7 letters, you may have to adjust yours if you have more or less letters
Open your template in PSP...open your font if you are using mine and shrink it to taskbar, I used Accent cookie dough bevause I thought it was cute...
Make sure all layers are open and click on the bottom layer...add a new layer...with your text tool ...size set at 72...stroke set at black..line set at 1......fill set at your colour...floating and antalias checked... type your text....1 letter at a time,and on it's own layer...add a new layer and with your draw tool set at single line and the size set at 4...draw a line from left to right as a guide for the letters and peices to sit evenly...re name this layer LINE...now place each text directly under a candy peice on the line.....you may have to duplicate a candy peice land if you don't need all the peices just delete the layers you don't need or close them off. re name each layer it's letter
This is what your layer palette should look like
1)Close off the line layer...Open all layers...edit...copy>merge...in AS...right click and paste as new animation
2)Close off the first letter of your text..open the line layer....in the layer palette click on peice 1 to highlight it... click on the defrm tool...holding down the ctrl key and using the arrows to the right of the keyboard ...move the first layer down to the line...close off the line layer...edit...copy>merge... in AS...right click on last frame and paste after current frame
