Hello Garry,
welcome back! ;-)
Since we didn't find a good solution for this ticker-problem either,
we developed a custom render patch to do a crawler to be used in
BoinxTV. But in the case of stock data you might be able to do it in
pure QC, like I did with the Twitter layer in BoinxTV: I generated an
image with all data from one tweet (in your case from one stock) and
pushed this over the screen from right to left, from out-of-screen to
fully visible on screen. Right at the point when the image is fully
visible I added the image to an accumulator buffer caching the image.
Now I created a new one with the next data. Again pushing it in from
the right side, but also moving the accumulator image accordingly so
it looks like the new image and accumulator image are one. Ever the
new image is fully visible I dropped a new image into the accumulator
which represented the current view on screen.
best,
Achim Breidenbach

Hey all - originally joined this list sometime like 2005/2006 when
QC first came out... played with it a bit, met issues, and dropped it.
Now I'm trying to re-introduce myself to it and am wondering if
there's any great tuts out there? I'm not knew to programming but am
still having issues creating a lower third scrolling stock ticker...
