this might be of some help:
thanx liam, but i dun want the scrollbarā¦the text scroll up automatically
Iāve been looking for just a plain auto-scroller for text! Actually, djazz, what you showed as a sample would work for me. Would you mind sharing the .fla for that? I will need to load text from a MySQL database so we will be working on the same problem in the end. Thanks!
sorry gareal, i dun have .fla for this sampleā¦iāve just copy the swf file from the site that i found itā¦to let u understand how it worksā¦
most of the samples *.fla auto-scroller text that iād found are moving on horizontal pathā¦i need the text that moving up vertically
Found an answer in another siteās forumā¦ I think. Check here: http://www.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=432845&highlight=scroll.
I think we need to use the Maxscroll function and modify the delay property to control the speed of the scroll. The above article also discusses loading from a text file. Let me know if it works for you. I also found someoneās sample of a working autoscroll, but I canāt load it and look at it until later.
Hope this helps!
thanx garealā¦i have joined the forum by flashkit.com.
A couple more thoughts on this Djazzā¦
First, I did get a reply on another forum that is VERY promising: http://www.bit-101.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=10523#10523. I canāt check it out until later. Let me know if that helped.
I played around with loading text into a text box from an external file and the advice going around works fine to load text into a variable that is defined in a text file. I tried another method of getting text to scroll by trying to get the whole box to scroll in a loop.
To make a whole box scroll I had to convert it to a movie clip. And you canāt convert a text box to a movie clip by itself; it has to be combined with something else, then you can convert both into a movie clip. (I laid out a rectangle shape and dragged the text box over it. I selected both and converted to Symbol.) Unfortunately, once the box was part of a movie clip it would no longer accept input from a variable.
Thereās a tutorial on this site on how to create an infinite menu. This would be a good method to have a box scroll over and over. (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htM). I played with this and itās promising but not exactly what we need. But take a look as the ideas are useful.
Do let me know what you come up with as this seems to be harder I would have thought!
Good luckā¦ 
i played around the dinamic scroller movie that we found in kirupa tutorial.
wt i have done now isā¦
first, i had convert the textscroller to a movie then, i deleted the scrollbar component and make the text scroller ā¦moving up
now, i have done wt i want. The text was loaded from the .text file and it was moving up. but it cant add a hyperlink on the text.
i will attach you the that *.fla file laterā¦okā¦hope hear from u soonā¦
here is some exampleā¦
thanx gareal, u give me an idea to play the infinite menu movieā¦i will try it whether it work or notā¦but now, i try to learn more from the news flasher tutorial to fulfil my need
