Hi... I was wondering how I can get my text to scroll automatically without have to use up and down scroll buttons? :confused:

Currently, I've managed to creat scrollable texts with scroll buttons and they work, but I kinda want to get my text to scroll automatically upon loaded.

Thanks!

you can run it through an interval loop so it contantly scrolls down one or two lines every X seconds. You cana lso base it on the position of the Mouse.

If you do the first one you need to ahve the user be able to scroll back up or stop so they can actually read the text, unless you are trying to make a ticker like scroll.

Can somebody help me please? I can't seem to find a tutorial targetted towards scrolling text automatically without the buttons. There's plenty of tutorials for scrolling images automatically tho.

I've tried using static text and masking, but my text moves jerkily. Is there any body who can provide some useful tips to how to incorporate dynamic text into a MC and make it scroll?

Thanks!!! :D
