OK, scrolling marquee with static text would be easy, right? Just make a symbol with your text, put it offstage, then make a new keyframe with it on the other side of the stage and tween it.
My problem is that this particular marquee needs to be a dynamic text field, that will display a message imported from a text file, which will be changed periodically, so the length of the text may vary. With the length varying, I don't know exactly how long to make my dynamic text field.
Any tricky way to do this? Or do I just need to make the dynafield super long to accomodate the longest possible message?
