Automatic Dynamic text scroll

[Gabbagod webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Im building a website for someone where they require a tickertape style News bulletin to scroll along the bottom of the page with all the latest news appearing.

Obvioulsy as this will be updated a lot it needs to be dynamic, and load from an easily changeable text file which is of course easy to do.

How though can i make the dynamically loaded text scroll horizontally along the bottom of the page and when it gets to the end of the text, goes back to the beginning again?

Is this a hard way of doing a simple thing (possible in Dreamweaver alone)? Thanks for ne help!

this is pretty simple with flash. to get the effect you probably want you'll need to use a mask and that will require you to embed your textfield's font.
otherwise, just create a textfield, load the text file (loadVariables), AFTER loading is complete assign the textfield's text property to be the text loaded and then script or tween your motion.
