i'm not sure what exactly you mean, but you could try maxing difrrent
text objects and changing which one's visible at diffrent frames, aka.
by making one visible and the other not at say frame 100. this can be
done through layer keyframes, through animating the alpha on the
texture, and probably other ways i don't know. but this souloution
will only work if you only have a few diffrent messages you want to
display.
