Hiya guys,

What I would like to do it have text on my page that scrolls similar to (although not loading from an external source:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic\_scroller.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm)

However I would like my text to be static rather than dynamic. I read somewhere that the only way to do this is to have the text as a movie clip. Is that correct? And if so, how do I then scroll the MC??

Thanks!
