Hello:hitman2:,

I am trying to create a news ticker in flash that does 3 things:

1. Pulls the Text from an XML File (for easy updating)

2. Automatically scrolls (vertically and its multi-line) but pauses when you mouse over it

3. Is controllable meaning I have up and down arrows to fast foward through the text.

I found a tutorial here on news tickers but, it was a horizontal one. How can i make a vertical version that has the features above? Any help is GREATLY appretiated. Thanks
