This is what I want to do :

I have a scrolling text on a Movie Clip, and I want the user to chose the scrolling speed. An example of what I need, is the scrolling text on the Home Page of [www.metallica.com](http://www.metallica.com). Please see it, and tell me the script I should use, to do smth like that.

Thanks
