Hi there, I’ve made a horizontal news ticker that scrolls a string from right to left using substring method and by changing the alignment. This works OK but I would like the text to start displaying again before it disappears completly off the left of the screen. I’ve attached the fla and swf. I’ve been thru a number of posts and tutorials but I can’t find the answer to this specific problem.

Thanks for any help!
