i recently implemented on a website the xml scrolling text found on this kirupa tutorial:

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic\_scroller.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm)

works great in flash 6, but not at all in flash 8.

since the rest of the site i’m working on uses xml with flash 8 for the antialias for readabilty and justify text features which are not available in flash 6, the pages using the scroling flash 6 text pages are noticably inferior and less elegant.

has anyone found or got a solution to use the dynamic scrolling text code with flash 8?

or anyone know of a solution to apply a css style to the scrolling text code?

here is the code from the tutorial modified only to try and format the text file with html - hence: htmlText.

loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“kirupa.txt”);  
//creating the loadVarsText function  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
scroller.htmlText = this.kirupatext;  
};

thanks, from switzerland.
