Hi there,

Anybody know how to create an easing textfield scroller with htmltext content. I have managed a version using textformat and dynamic mask, but am currently trying to combine htmltext and css. I realise that masking won’t apply, so I have faked upper and lower extents with mc placeholders the same colour as my background.

My problem is that I cannot seem to limit my scroll to the text extent - it just overruns…

I’d be grateful for some help on this one…:hugegrin:
