Animate Text P2

Here is an example with animating text. setTimeout is used for a sequence of animations. I suspect there may be another way to do this within Snap



var s = Snap("#svgout");
var text = 'Here is some dynamic exciting announcement';
// inspired from http://codepen.io/GreenSock/pen/AGzci

var textArray = text.split(" ");
var len = textArray.length;
var timing = 750;

for( var index=0; index < len; index++ ) {

    (function() {

        var svgTextElement = s.text(350,100, textArray[index]).attr({ fontSize: '120px', opacity: 0, "text-anchor": "middle" });

        setTimeout( function() {

                Snap.animate( 0, 1, function( value ) {
                    //svgTextElement.transform('s' + value   );                              // Animate by transform
                    svgTextElement.attr({ 'font-size': value * 100,  opacity: value });      // Animate by font-size ?
                }, timing, mina.bounce, function() { svgTextElement.remove() } );
                            }
        ,index * timing)
    }());
};
