Talking text using actions for each character

Greetings.

I have been researching about how to make a dynamic text appear. It means that each letter will appear one after the other one, simulating different animation actions.

I came up with this:
First, create a label and then add it to the scene.

auto label = Label::createWithBMFont("fonts/bitmapFontTest.fnt", "Bitmap Font Atlas");
addChild(label);

Then, we store the letters B in Bchar, F in FChar and A in AChar as sprites, so far so good.

auto BChar = (Sprite*) label->getLetter(0);
auto FChar = (Sprite*) label->getLetter(7);
auto AChar = (Sprite*) label->getLetter(13);

We create an action, and then we apply it:

auto jump = JumpBy::create(0.5f, Vec2::ZERO, 60, 1);
auto jump_4ever = RepeatForever::create(jump);
FChar->runAction(jump_4ever);

Now, I believe that I will need a scheduler and a 'for' (?) to go through each letter, so we can have the animation of each one.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
