I've just made some sort of horizontal scrolling. The principle was the following : Let's name "scrollThing" the sprite I wanted to scroll... I created a bitmap mask and put it in the score so that it lets a part of the sprite "scrollThing" visible. (Say the size of your cellphone screen) The scrolling is made with moving the sprite "scrollThing" behind the mask. Which I made with arrows, bar and cursor... and little script. My scrollThing was not a textField. In your case, and if you have a oneline text, you can do with selecting successive parts of the string. Hope it helps, Vincent [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
