I remember seeing them in-world in the past.
A single object that has text above it in multiple colors.
e.g.
Hello
I have attempted to do it myself with not success. Anybody know how this was done?

I wanted to have a row of black pipes and then turn each on red as the files loaded. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Oh well, no biggie, it was just something to try out. _____________________

Two ways - a texture that you offset to move the "bar" along.
A string of prims making the hover text one letter at a time. |
