for a while there, every client I had saw the previous masking thing and wanted their logo animated in that way. It grew tiresome and I refuse to do it anymore.

stewarts way is a good suggestion but make sure you only delete tiny amounts of detail at a time and that'll keep it smoooooth.
sometimes with joined-up handwriting you can just use one reveal-mask and slide it across the text to reveal it and it will look dececnt if done at the right (fast) speed

sometimes you can't argue with a signed check though...

You might also try doing it in After Effects. That definitley works for the very complicated and custom shapes. Use the Vector Paint effect. Keep all assetts as vector files. However, I have not played with export from AE as an SWF, so it may all be for naught.
