Hi,

I'm trying to get this scrolling text to stop if moving if text.length <= 15


So far this is what I got.

Code:
stop();
var characterLength = this.trackInfo.length;

trace(characterLength);
this.characterLength.text;

/*
if (nodes[i].attributes.track.length>=35) {
	infoMarion.trackInfo._x = 0;
} else {
	resetPosition();
}
*/

function resetPosition() {
	if (trackInfo._width>15) {
		if (_root.firstload == true) {
			trackInfo._x = 50;
			_root.firstload = false;
		}
	} else {
		trackInfo._x = 112-(trackInfo._width/2);
	}
}

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	if (this.trackInfo._width>15) {
		if ((this.trackInfo._x+this.trackInfo._width)<0) {
			this.trackInfo._x = 145;
		} else {
			this.trackInfo._x--;
		}
	}
};
See I use var characterLength = this.trackInfo.length; then I put I attach it to this.characterLength.text;


Well the problem I'm having is that I only get the number of characters in my
characterLength.text which is always 0.

I use xml to load into this thing. So I'm thinking that I've gotta grab some info from the XML. I'm just not sure on how to do it.
