I threw together this exceedingly simple script:

```auto

onClipEvent (load) {
        this.main.text = "Planning & Design";
        this.sub.text = "lasting solutions through best technology";
        this._x = 300;
        this._y = 700;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    if (this._y > 100) {
        this._y = this._y-2;
    } else {
            this.main.text = "Business Process Improvement";
            this.sub.text = "building value through efficient operation";
            this._x = 300;
            this._y = 700;
        }
}

```

It drops text into dynamic text fields and vertically scrolls the movie clip that contains them. I use a gradient at the top and bottom to effectively make the text disappear and reappear. Check this directory for the FLA:

My question is, how do I continue the loop to insert more phrases? I have about 10 I need to put in. Is there any way to set up an array or a more effective nested loop?

Thank ya.
