I'm loading a text file into a dynamic text box using LoadVars, and I've got it to scroll using this code:
var myInterval = setInterval(scrollUp, 500); function scrollUp() { _root.text_mc.textbox.scroll += 1; }
...but there are two problems. One, the client says it's too jerky (as it's doing it a line at a time, rather than a smooth scroll), and two, the client would like it to be like a news scroller, meaning it automatically scrolls to the bottom of the text, and then the start of the text appears underneath and keeps scrolling continuously. I hope I've explained myself reasonably well!
I've been thinking that one way to do this would be to load the text into TWO text boxes, which are in separate mc's, and then animate them so that when one reaches the top of a mask, it jumps back underneath - really not sure how to do that, though...
If someone could help me out with these two things, I'd really appreciate it - cheers!
