auto-scroll dynamic text

[snowggirl]

Hi you all!

Learned lots and lots from so many of you (THANKS!)but still need help with this:

I want to auto-scroll a list of about 600 company names. The text in the variable needs to be up-dated quite often.

So - is there a way to either load dynamic text into a mowieclip (really tried to find info on this all over but no success or I'm blind...) 'cause if my text is in a mc I can auto-scroll it...

or - is there another way to make dynamic text auto-scroll?

Would really make my day if you could help me figure this out!

my guess if you want to construct a list is use the listbox component.

i recently did a serverbrowser with the listbox where php read the folders & content, returned in an array and then pushed into the box.
great thing with listbox is that there is an invisible value. getValue() will get this. so you can for example link to homepages or display extra information.

600 is a big number so i suggest you use XML which is particularly fast, you can add extra value and flash has an XML class which has many possibilities.

because it dynamically loads, you can easily update just the XML file.

if you don't know XML i suggest you learn it because it is easy and helpfull in many cases. once you know the basics it should be pretty easy integrating it into flash.../


success!
