    Delete the actions on your button.

    Give your button an instance name of _btn (or whatever, and replace it in the code below).

    Replace your code with this:
    Code:
    System.useCodepage = true;
    function newsticker(inhalt, posX, posY, tiefe, tempo) {
    	this.loadVariables(inhalt);
    	this.onData = function() {
    		createTextField("text", tiefe, posX, posY, 10, 20);
    		text.html = true;
    		text.htmlText = news;
    		text.selectable = false;
    		text.autoSize = "left";
    		createTextField("text2", tiefe + 1, posX, posY, 10, 20);
    		text2.html = true;
    		text2.htmlText = news;
    		text2.selectable = false;
    		text2.autoSize = "left";
    		text2._x = text._width;
    		function tick() {
    			text._x -= tempo;
    			text2._x -= tempo;
    			if (text2._x <= posX) {
    				text._x = posX;
    				text2._x = text._width + posX;
    			}
    			updateAfterEvent();
    		}
    		_btn.onRollOver = function() {
    			clearInterval(tick_interval);
    		};
    		_btn.onRollOut = function() {
    			tick_interval = setInterval(tick, 30);
    		};
    		if (!tick_interval) {
    			tick_interval = setInterval(tick, 30);
    		}
    	};
    }
    newsticker("ticker.txt", 0, 7, 1, 1);

    I think tempo is the parameter for that... increase it.

    newsticker("ticker.txt", 0, 7, 1, 1);

    or lower the tick interval.

    tick_interval = setInterval(tick, 30);

    I've spent about 4 hours researching to find a ticker that looks and works like this. I'm so glad I found this thread! I know it's quite old but it's exactly what I need. I've been playing around with the code, but I can't figure out how to do two things:

    1. Make the ticker pause when you mouse over anchored text. It currently links properly to the news source, but it does not pause. Whereas it pauses fine when you mouse over regular text.

    2. Currently, any spaces after or before the anchored text are not recognized. Whereas spaces before and after regular text are displayed properly.

    3. Is there any way to add an image to this?

    Thanks!

    OK, I've found a way to account for the spaces. I just add the spacing between the anchor tags:

    <a href="www.google.com" target="_blank"> Google </a>


    I still need help answering #1 and #3:

    1. Make the ticker pause when you mouse over anchored text. It currently links properly to the news source, but it does not pause. Whereas it pauses fine when you mouse over regular text.

    3. Is there any way to add an image to this?

    Thanks so much!
