Scrolling text

There are several ways to create scrolling text in Flash:
  • Make dynamic or input text fields scrollable by using menu commands or the text field handle.

  • Add a ScrollBar component to a text field to make it scroll. For more information, see “UIScrollBar Component” in the ActionScript 2.0 Components Language Reference.

  • In ActionScript, use the TextField object’s scroll and maxscroll properties to control vertical scrolling and the hscroll and maxhscroll properties to control horizontal scrolling in a text field. See Example: Creating scrolling text in Learning ActionScript 2.0 in Adobe Flash.
