Answer 1

THANKS dmennenoh .. what I came up with ..
var myTxtFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat()
var myText:TextField = new TextField()
var myText2:TextField = new TextField()
var txtBitMapArray:Array = new Array()
myTxtFormat.font = "arial"
myTxtFormat.size = "92"
myTxtFormat.color = "0x000000"
myText.text = "This is a Test"
for(var i=0;i<myText.text.length;i++){
myText2.text = myText.text.charAt(i)
myText2.setTextFormat(myTxtFormat)
var a:BitmapData = new BitmapData(myText2.textWidth,myText2.textHeight)
a.draw(myText2) // myText.text.charAt(i)
txtBitMapArray[i] = new Bitmap(a)
txtBitMapArray[i].y = 20
if (i == 0) {
  txtBitMapArray[i].x = 10
else{
  txtBitMapArray[i].x = txtBitMapArray[i-1].x + txtBitMapArray[i-1].width
txtBitMapArray[i]
addChild(txtBitMapArray[i])
