Auto scrolling dynamic text from external text file

Hi guys,

I’m loading a text file into a dynamic text box using LoadVars, and I’ve got it to scroll using this code:

 
var myInterval = setInterval(scrollUp, 500);
function scrollUp() {
_root.text_mc.textbox.scroll += 1;
}

…but there are two problems. One, the client says it’s too jerky (as it’s doing it a line at a time, rather than a smooth scroll), and two, the client would like it to be like a news scroller, meaning it automatically scrolls to the bottom of the text, and then the start of the text appears underneath and keeps scrolling continuously. I hope I’ve explained myself reasonably well!

If someone could help me out with these two things, I’d really appreciate it - cheers!
