I am trying to setup a marquee like display for a link. (for a custom
ticker tape type mod)
I can scroll the link horizontally by updating the x property of a
link inside a div using a script.
when I set the x property to for example the size of the div element
the link overflows from the div and only a part of it is displayed, as
expected.

For example i have a div of size 200, and a link with innerText.length
= 15, when  the x property is >185 the text starts overflowing towards
the right.

My problem is how can I accomplish this for the left side? so that the
link scrolls in from the left side.

the x property cannot be -ve and the main view does not support css
styles (I have it working on normal web pages using css position
tags).

Here is the code I am using right now. This function is called every
200ms. it scrolls the link to the right untill it eventually
disappears then restarts (the mod function).

function shiftText(){
  var m = marquee_container.children("link1");
  var w = marquee_container.width;
  var init = m.offsetX;
  //debug.trace(init);
  if (init>w)
    { init=(init+1)%(w); m.x = init; }
  else
    { init=init+1;m.x = init; }

}
