[F8] How to code Scrolling text?

I am interested in learning how to create scrolling text in flash to use on a web page?

I am not sure even where to begin, please hold my hand and show me the correct way to do this... Thanks in advance.

TN:yikes:

are you talking about a textField scroller or something like a news flasher?

<marquee>Woohoo!.</marquee>

Depending on how savvy you are, you can do this in actionscript, or tween. Obviously in actionscript it will be much more efficient.

I'm talking about like a scrolling banner, that has a var (random) number of times the information can be seen on the page, but still in a banner style.
I know part of it would require a mask to be created to project the words on the screen, but from there, I can't tell you, I simply do not know.

Click on the first one on the left side - its a scrolling banner like I mean.

Thanks - the one you supplied is good caroach, but I need something more flashy.
