I’m creating a mp3 for my website and was just wondering is there a way to solve these problems:

1. I’m using a dynamic text field to load the song names to screen but the area in which i load them is not long enough to show the full song name. I dont want to make this any longer so is there a way i can get the dynamic text field to make the file name scroll across the screen so the user can read the full name. I dont want to have to put a scroll bar on because that will ruin the effect.

2. The second problem with the dynamic text field is i cannot get it to display the text once i put it inside a movie clip. Its just blank. Although if i just put it on the main screen it shows up fine, have i missed out a simple step somewhere?

Any help or pointers greatly appreciated and hopefully I can post my site up soon for you al lto comment on.

Many Thanks

Sean
