Hi Everyone,
I have been working on a recent project and it requires a dynamic text scrolling horizontally like a marquee. When i use a small amount of text then it works smoothly. But then the text goes up to say around 800 characters or so. Flash 8 doesnt control the animation smoothly enough and it seems jumpy. Any feedback is welcome.
I have selected “Ani-alias for animation” and the scroll the movieclip in the OnEnterFrame event using _x-=2; equivalent to _x=_x-2;
Please guide me.
Many thanx in advance.
im pasting the code used in the movieclip and also the text that has been adjusted in the textfield within the movieclip for you reference.
//code in movieclip
//=======================
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
if (_root.animate==true)
{
_x=_x-2;
if (_x<(-_width+100))
{
_x=687.75;
}
}
}
