HI, I just made a text scroller, but what I want it to do is to alter in size as you scroll, so for example when you scroll through, the text exiting the text box is smaller and the text in the middle is large, the text at the bottom is small again. This or colour gradations would also be nice…any ideas. I’m using MX. ciao ciao ---

I don’t think you can do that with dynamically loaded text. You could do it with a series of movieClips. This is kinda what you want: [http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Interactivity/Navigation/Mac\_OS\_X-Aaron\_Ha-722/index.php](http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Interactivity/Navigation/Mac_OS_X-Aaron_Ha-722/index.php) There’s another tut somewhere out there that does the same thing with text, but it follows the same priciples. ---
