\*\*\*\*\*Then, drag and drop the component into the textfield \*\*\*\*  
What sort of Component is it ?

Steps to Create the News Flasher  
The following steps will help you to create the animation you see above:

Create a dynamic textfield and give it an Instance name, label it myText.

Align to center the textfield ( so the text loaded into it will be centered).

Select Apply HTML tags.

Then, drag and drop the component into the textfield

Now, modify the component parameters and publish your movie.

Open notepad and use this format to add news:
