Derek, That was something I have not tried so Thank You for the idea!! When I polished it up as best I could, the result was exactly the same as the move command.
Here's my 'move' setup: cd fld named "test" line graphic named "move" Some background stuff to polish the look A button with this code: On mouseup put someText into cd fld "test" set the width of cd fld "test" to the formattedWidth of cd fld "test" move cd fld "test" along the points of graphic "move"-- Move speed was set to 300 end mouseup The movement I see with this solution is the exact movement I see when I tried your hScroll solution. It's still too jerky for prime time. Both are getting close but I'm hoping for a much smoother solution. jim schaubeck 714-321-4499 -----Original Message----- From: use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of Derek Bump - Dreamscape Software Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2011 8:40 PM To: How to use LiveCode Subject: Re: Livecode for Digital Signage Hello Jim, What you could do is place the field inside of a group and change the group's Horizontal Scroll incrementally. Then once it reaches the end, lock the screen, reset the scroll, and start again.
