Ok, here is my problem… I have successfully created a dynamic list of text fields dependent on how many childnodes are present in my XML file…great so it would look a little something like this…Each from an XML node that creates it’s own text field… Steven Bobby Johnny Yo Momma My Momma So I have a list something along those lines. Ok, here’s the problem… Since I’m horrible at Math, I need some help…I need to make these names scroll up. Yea, I could just throw this list in a Movie Clip and just animate that, but I really don’t have a clue how long this list could be since it’s dynamic. So if anyone knows anything about animation with Mathmatics…I’d love to hear from you! Hope I made some sense here… Thanks! ---

Don’t get me wrong, but I wouldn’t have posted if I could use Flash MX’s Scrollbar Component. Anyway, The reason is because I’m making a “Price-is-right” like wheel that will spin and come to a stop on whatever name is chosen. Obviously, the scrollbar isn’t going to do this for me. 🙂 ---
