How to create a scrolling text continously?

1

hi…
i would like to know how can i create a scrolling text doesn’t amtter vertically or horizontally continously … by converting it to movie clip doesn’t help because the next scrolling text will only appear when the last letter of the sentence ends… anyone knows how?

and can anyone teach me how to create a sophisticated drop down menu , not the usual ones… anyone?

i need it for my company’s flash intro… and if the scrolling text doesn’t appear continously…noone can see what the message trying to convey

A simple way to this

is to put

[AS]instance._x += 1[/AS]

into your timeline

where ‘instance’ is the insctance name , duh

if you want to make it a little more flexible try using set interval


sroll = function ()
{
this._x += 1
}

setInterval ( sroll, 1000 );

You need to put the text twice, side by side, to make that work. Check the infinite menu tutorial, I explained it there :slight_smile:

hey…how abt without the button… i don need the mouse to be active just the text to move horizontal or vertically by itsself…but of course at a slower pace…

and hee…how abt a sophisticated drop down menu…i did the kirupa menu bar tutorial… but how to make it look more animative?

Supposing you found the inifinite menu tute, do exactly as I explained there, but put this code instead:

onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
   _x+= 5 ;
   if (_x > 0) _x=-300;
   if (_x < -300) _x=0;
}

And replace 300 by the width of your clip (the base clip, not the one that contains 2 clips side by side.

pom :slight_smile:
