You could probably do something similar with a Queue patch. Might be
simpler this way, in fact. Push the first image across the frame
until it goes across the full width, then add a new image to the
Queue and continue moving both across, with an offset to the position
of the second image, and repeat.
Just a thought.

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,

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...
