Continuous-looping scroll

1

Hey’all,
I currently have a dynamic text box loading some html text (from external source) and scrolling automatically (need it to display news for a website that will be updated weekly by the client) … I was wondering two things:

1 - Is it possible to endlessly loop the text (currently scrolls it and stops at the end)?
2 - My main movie is at 35 fps (too fast) can you set the speed of the scroll?

here is the actions on my container movie clip (very basic)

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.text.scroll++
}

keep on contact, Romeo

I haven’t done many text scrollers like that so I couldn’t answer your question about the loop.

However, on your second question if you can speed up (Slowing it down isn’t possible I don’t believe) the scrolling, yes you can. Right now your code is telling it to scroll 1 integer more then the last position, if you’d like to speed it up you could do 2 or 3 per onEnterFrame.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	_root.text.scroll+2;
}

Good luck,
