Yes, that should be possible to do. Here is how I would approach it. I would display the first n character of the text in a Gfx text box placed somewhere on the screen. I would note the time and have a refresh rate of 1 second or faster. Then on each AFL pass, I would check the time. If one second has passed, I would display the next segment of the text (one less character from the start and one more on the end). It may not scroll perfectly smoothly, but it would be an approximate equivalent of a side scrolling text banner.
However, ff you wanted it to move the other direction -- Up scrolling, then just do the same thing, but on a line basis instead of a character basis, and make it scroll slower. It just depends on how you want to allocate your screen real estate.
