Re: FLASH: Flash4: Scrolling text

[Dorian Nisinson]

Hi Bob,

	Could you send your problem .fla file to me privately so I can take a

look at it. I will see if I can get a handle on where things went

wrong.  Send it to me zipped, if you can, so the file doesn't get

corrupted.

email to

dorianbway [dot] net (mailto:dorianbway [dot] net)

 and attach the file.

I'll see what I can do.
