Hi guys,

I’m inserting a “News Bulletin” On my website. The steps I took was

\*creating a text box  
\*converting to symbol {movie clip}  
Now I want to add effect, meanning I like for it to scroll up so I inserted this:in “Action”

onClipEvent (enterframe) {  
\_y -= 10;  
}

But I like for it to loop… !! Repeat itself,

I was curious on how I do that? I’m at this point now:

onClipEvent (enterframe) {  
\_y -= 10;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterframe) {  
if ()  
\_root.

I’m lost from here and I dont know if im on the right track so can someone help? thank you

</div>

try someting like this:

```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._y<endY ? this._y=startY : this._y -= 10;
}

```

**endY** is the coordinate when the MovieClip should return to the starting coordinate and **startY** (kinda obvious) is the starting coordinate of the MovieClip. =)

</div>

did you replace endY and startY with the actual coordinates?

```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._y<20 ? this._y=100 : this._y -= 10;
}

```

or did you define endY and startY as variables?

```auto
onClipEvent (load) {
var endY = 20, startY = 100;
}

```

first off… don’t animate in the main timeline, make your animations within MovieClips instead (those cubes for instance) it will make your life easier. 😉

and you don’t need to use the coordinates i posted, it was just an example. :-\

anyway, i think the problem is (if there’s a problem, everything seems fine to me) the keyframe at the end, it resets the MovieClip position.  
and if you don’t want the text to be visible when it’s not over the black box, use mask. since you’re using dynamic text, in order to mask it, you must embed the font outline. run a search in the forum if you don’t know how to embed the font. 😉

nah thats kool, you helped out alot…now i just need to read up on embeding text. so u say when I create animation its good to just convert to movieclip and do it that way instead of creating new layer in main timeline and doing there?

yeah, if you ever need to move/extract/edit the animation, it will be easier for you. 😉
