To what exstent do u want to do that i.e screensaver?
U could put your text field in a mc and tween the mc to move from the left of the stage to the right. Is this what you mean?

onEnterFrame(){
text._x-=1;
if(text._x gets all the way to the left){
put it back on the right;
}
}

right? something like that... i think. It was a busy weekend. No brain cells left.

I think this is what your looking for


textfieldname.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(this._x>0){
this._x-=5
}
if(this._x<=0){
delete textfieldname.onEnterFrame
}
}


Hope it helps
