Livecode for Digital Signage

[Terry Judd]

How about using a fixed width font in a right aligned field with its
dontWrap property set to false and then inserting a string one character at
a time from the end of the field. If you use an appropriate delay between
the insertion of each character then you might get the effect you're looking
for.
