Hey guys, I have been working on a scrolling "news ticker" for a friend of mine now for a while, it basicly pays a 20 min flash video file looped and he can edit a text file which will then show the contents on a news ticker system for anouncements.

Now I have the flash video looping, I even have the "marquee" efect working (the box moving across the screen) and even have the contents of the file in the text box.

So whats the problem> simple TEXT WRAP

the way the box moves along the screen is it checks the top right corner of the textbox to see if it is below 0, if it is then it moves it back and resets again. Now the problem I am having is that the text isn't fitting in the text box its missing 90% of it because of the textbox having a set width.

In short I need to work out how to change the width of the textbox so that all the text is in there. I have to use a single line (one of the requirements) so multiline is out of the question and so is scrolling the textbox as its designed to move across the screen as a news ticker but I cant get the text to fit in the box, any ideas on how to do this???

thanks
