Okay, I’ve spent alot of time reading on the web trying to find an answer but can’t.

I want to create a continous text scroller similar to a stock ticker or news scroll that loads an external text file.

I’ve looked at the Headlab newsflasher and that’s not quite what I need. I need a continous scroller that just loops the text file I want to load.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, even a link to a tutorial would be great.
