Hi all,

This has got me stumped and I can’t find any tutorials on it so I thought I’d ask you.

I want to make a dynamically loaded text box that scrolls smoothly and automatically, like a ticker box but vertical. I need to load this into a movie container.

for example:  
on a main page I have 2 movie containers,  
side bar and main display

I use these to hold loaded movies when buttons are released etc.

What I want to do is to load a movie (containing the text) into the sidebar container, which automatically scrolls vertically, within the sidebar container, and loops when its finished. I want to be able to dynamically load the text due to the fact it’ll be changed frequently.

And I hope you can understand that…

thanks in advance

cheers M
