[F8] Scrolling Dynamic Text String Automatically

[wogelife]

Hey, I have an Mp3 player which gives the name of the song in a dynamic text field, however I don't want the field very long which means the name of the song extends far past the actual field. I was wondering the best way to go about making the text field rotate the song title inside of the textfield so the entire song name can be read. Heres the actionscript for the mp3 player:

code:

---

stop();

playlist = new XML();

playlist.ignoreWhite = true;

playlist.onLoad = function(success) {

	if (success) {

		_global.songname = [];

		_global.songband = [];

		_global.songfile = [];

		for (var i = 0; i<playlist.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {

			_global.songname[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.name;

			_global.songfile[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.file;

			trace(songname[i]+"  "+songfile[i]);

		}

	}

	_root.createEmptyMovieClip("sound_mc", 1);

	_root.sound_mc.sound_obj = new Sound();

	_global.song_nr = random(songfile.length);

	_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr], songname[song_nr]);

};

MovieClip.prototype.songStarter = function(file, name) {

	this.sound_obj.loadSound(file, true);

	this.onEnterFrame = function() {

		if (this.sound_obj.position>0) {

			delete this.onEnterFrame;

			_root.mp3Player.display_txt.text = name;

			

		} else {

			_root.mp3Player.display_txt.text = "loading...";

		}

	};

	this.sound_obj.onSoundComplete = function() {

		(song_nr == songfiles.length-1) ? _global.song_nr=0 : _global.song_nr++;

		_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfiles[song_nr], songname[song_nr]);

	};

};

btn_play.onRelease = function() {

	_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr], songname[song_nr]);

};

this.btn_stop.onRelease = function() {

	_root.sound_mc.sound_obj.stop();

};

btn_fw.onRelease = function() {

	(song_nr == songfile.length-1) ? _global.song_nr=0 : _global.song_nr++;

	_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr], songname[song_nr]);

};

btn_rev.onRelease = function() {

	(song_nr == 0) ? _global.song_nr=songfile.length-1 : _global.song_nr--;

	_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr], songname[song_nr]);

};

playlist.load("playlist.xml");

Thanks a lot!

Use a mask and have it animate the dynamic text and repeat.
