Seemless Left to Right Scroll

I have seen this effect. But, Im new to Flash 5.

Where a string of text scrolls across the movie (left and right) and it is seemlessly scrolling non stop. I hardly know anything about flash.

just in case, I'm not talking about a scrollbar, I guess its a similar concept to html marquee

hi hansamryan,

i am not sure which one u are talking about, but if it is only a static text scroll left/right ... it could just be a mask + and moviclip under it + motion tween

another way which is pure action script ...
just have ur text store in a variable and pass it to the text box ... one less at a time or one more at a time ...

which one do u want? left or right? or bouncing?

:)

cheers

continuous left to right scroll. Actionscript sounds great, but another thing is, I'm going to have three layers. The bottom layer will scroll onw way, the middle will scroll the opposite and the top layer won't have any scroll. But, I'm knew to flash, so i don't know how to do any this. except creating multple layers.

henry,

Thanks for the help, but when I try to load your fla file, it tells me that it is a unsupported format. I have Flash 5 just in case I didn't say that before

here ... saved again in flash 5 format

i see u do VB and JS ... action script is similar and in facts easier too ...

got more functions to play with, u should get MX ... it is 90% like JS syntax and class, objects etc ...

good for programmers :)
