In Flash MX, is there any way to make text scroll infinitely? I’m building a webpage and I’m trying to do this in order to make a news ticker, but I can’t figure out how. Any help is appreciated

Leroy?

No it’s more like a regular text box that automatically scrolls. Does that make sense? In other words, as soon as it loads, the text scrolls vertically, without using slider bars, etc.
