I have a long column of text which I want to make into a tween loop with a stop/go toggle in AS.  
My problem is creating the text loop so that it reads in continuous paragraphs and does not have a big white space between the finish of the column and the start of the next cycle as it does at present.  
I have ten paragraphs and want the para 1 to begin at the top of the window and para 10 to finish at the bottom.  
If Keyframe 1 begins with para 1 at the top of the window, and Keyframe 2 has para 10 finish at the bottom I would have expected the loop (assuming I coordinated my margins) to be continuous. But it ain’t!

Then I tried Having Keyframe 2 finish at the top window where Keyframe 1 starts, and since this would inevitable create white space after para 10, I repeated para 1 and 2 to fill the space. This did not work either.

Can anyone tell me what I am overlooking please?
