All good tips man. Santa didn't bring AE 6.0 though. I have version 5. Your ideas are really cool though. I saw the presets in 6 and they look pretty slick. I used a little gold edge ray to shine around the letters and it looks alright but a little too plain. Anyhow I give it my best.
Thanks for the help
Sean

Subject: Re: egyptian hieroglyphics
My first thought is find a font set with hieroglyphics. That way you have a bunch in a vector format. If you want to do a morph, I would use AE's mask morphing function. Create the hieros in Illustrator and copy/paste them to a solid in AE. They will be converted to masks.
