Text vertical autoscroller

[carl_mty]

Hi everyone:

I need to make a text vertical autoscroll in Flash, to display a list of customers, it's similar what you find in:

http://www.edifica-universal.com.mx/ing/customers.htm that is a java applet, but I need the very same effect, made with Flash.

I have no idea how to do it, what I especifically need is a 600 pixels width x 230 pixels height text vertical autoscroller movie, plain and simple, with no other effect in it, with white background and black text, Arial or Tahoma fonts, 10 pts in size.

Any ideas on how to do it, or where should I start?

Thanks.

Hi there,

Does the content of the TF have to be some dynamic content or just fixed text?

So far I can tell you that you will need masking and a "scroller-loop-MC", a movieClip that permanently scrolls the textfield up.

Place the text wthin a textfield which lies within a movieclip which will lie within a masked layer.

Add a movieclip with eg. 3 frames:

1.frame tells the textmovieclip to move x pixels up
2.frame loops back to frame 1 if the text hasn't scrolled through yet.
3. frame could be the "stop" frame. But isn't necessary, you can stop wia actionscript. I prefer stopframes.

Any details needed?

:D

I modified the file from the tutorial "scrolling tex box"....if it smooth movement you are after though, you will need to use moving MC's.
