say i wanted the astrix below to scroll from right to left:  
[\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*]  
say one of them is one color and the other is another color  
so it would create a marquee type effect,  
and then i wanted this to loop infinitely without any spaces…  
how would this be achieved in actionscript?

i know this may be really easy, but i’m new.  
so please answer like you would a newbie. :s:
