Well...Wat i did was same as u told
"First of all let's us create a a new layer, name that layer "mask", create a rectangle with any other color then white,"
But the Width i didnot take 117..I took 147 as my Dynamic textfield wid the instance name "display_txt" has a width of 142
"right on top of the "title_txt" textfield, that should fit right beneath the controls." I did this too(the title_txt is my display_txt!!!)

Then i put my display_txt textfield in a new layer called title field (this layer was below the layer "mask")
I then moved my textfield to the right of my mask...my mask(the rectangle) X positon was 4..so wen i moved mt display_txt textfeild to the right i moved it frm X=4 to X=154
I then right clicked on the mask layer and choose MASK...(check the picture for how the masked layer i got looked)
I went on to create a new movie clip and i named it Scroller as told..on the first frame of the newly created movieclip i pressed F9 and wrote these codes

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.title_txt._x -= 1;
if (_root.title_txt._x < (-100-_root.title_txt.width)) {
_root.title_txt._x = 219;
}
}

NOTE :- I Changed all the title_txt to display_txt

after i did all this and pressed Ctrl+Enter there was no scrolling text plus the song name was also not seen at all...

PLZ TELL ME WHERE I WENT WRONG!!!

switch off your mask, and check if your field is moving along or if it's even viewable!

[Amrik]

Its viewable but its not moving at all
actually i did it again and had a lil bit of changes
The Rectangle's width is = 189.1 and the X=4.0
and the postion of my display_txt textfield is now X = 220 and the width is still the same 142
Here r the pics wen i switched of the mask!! and pressed Ctrl + Enter
and the Worksapce pictures

- put your scroller movieclip which resides in the library on the stage
- change the scroller_mc code from:

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.title_txt._x -= 1;
if (_root.title_txt._x < (-100-_root.title_txt.width)) {
_root.title_txt._x = 219;
}
}

to this

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.display_txt._x -= 1;
if (_root.display_txt._x < (-20-_root.display_txt._width)) {
_root.display_txt._x = 170;
}
}

- Change the x position of the display_txt to 170px

Just for the sake of usability, I've changed your positions so that the text scrolls nicely inside the display box.

PS: you should also change the framerate from the flash movie to 25fps so the scrolling text looks nice & smooth

I've just noticed you using FL8, the tut was writte for you FL7..
In FL8 you need to embed the font on every dynamic textfield!

Select TextField -> go to properties panel -> press embed -> Choose Basic Latin from the dropdown list.

[Amrik]

Its working...but u knw its like...Wen moves pass the display box it will take time for it to show back again!
Wen it moves pass the rectangle box rite(u can see the box in my first post pic)it takes abt 4 seconds before the song name shows up again and wen it shows up it doesnot scroll(slide in)in it shows up jus suddenly
i changed X postion of display_txt to 64 and also the code frm 170 to 64
if i put it on 170 it is like it runs over the time i will post a pic to show u

I feel so bad its taking me alot of time to do this thing (Y-Y)

[funkysoul]

the remove the - value on the if statement. and the text wil just be scrolled during the box length..

[Amrik]

No it is still running over the time.......i wanna die!!!!!

[funkysoul]

erm.. is it masked?

[funkysoul]

erm.. just resize your mask to be as big as the display field (141px width)

[Amrik]
