Look at this tutorial: http://www.staredit.net/index.php?tutorial=7
and this tutorial: http://www.staredit.net/index.php?tutorial=115
The first one tells you how to do flashy stuff, and the second one basically tells you about how all the briefing triggers work.

So basically fancy breifings are made by slowly making the words out of text, frame by frame, and puting waits in between

So that would look like it typed falco,the cursor blincked for a second, then it backspaced to fal, then typed Falkoner, then the cursor blinked again.
Once it was done the cursor would dissappear and the text would stay for 6 seconds
ADDITION:
Also, you dont HAVE to do the _ thing, you can do other things, like in gheninsville RPG I had a little ship that looked like this ^, fly under my name and blow it up by shooting little |'s from it

What exaxtly do you mean by "Fancy" ? Overlaps ? Text appearing one letter at a time ? Letters fly and then form a word somehow ?
I suggest finding a map with a briefing similar to what you want and open it. I did that to learn.

Be sure not to make the waits inbetween each message too long. It's always annoying to watch the letters sloooowly appear because someone else didn't hit start.
