Hi there, quick question for you.
I'm in the middle of designing an MP3 player in Flash for a friend.
I'm fine with all of it apart from one little thing. He wants to have a single dynamic text field, where the title of the track will scroll while the music is playing.
Can someone tell me how I might go about doing that? I've been able to scroll text fields before when a user clicks on a button, but this seems slightly different. For one thing, I'm not loading the data from an external text file, secondly I'm not relying on user interaction to make the text scroll and thirdly I need it to go back to the beginning and scroll again once the last bit of text has gone off the screen.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
