Re: FLASH: Flash4: Scrolling text

[AL Lyman]

Agreed Bob. I haven't found any-of-em-easy!  

I got the &chr 13 also, till I saw that goes in the last variable. 


Viz: Set Variable:"Text1"="Here is where text for text1 goes." 

Set Variable:"Text2"=Here, Text2" etc


Put as many as you want. then the last entry: (Assuming your 

instance names is ScrollText)

Set Variable: "Scrolltext"=Text1 & chr(13) & Text2 & chr(13) & 

Text3 etc. get the spaces right. Also, use two entries for double 

spacing. Text1 & chr(13) & chr(13) Text2 will dbl space it. Also, 

notice the text goes in quotes, but the last variable where the chr13 

is-doesn't. 


The &chr(13) doesn't go in the text line, it goes in the separate Set 

Variable. Once I got that right, I came to really like Dorian's 

Scroller. It is very useful, and very attractive. Agreed? AL Lyman
