Chris, Thank you for sending your sample !!! I worked with your code a bit and changed this line: put dTime / 300 into pTime-- changed to 300
This made the test move a similar speed (faster than your speed) to a stock ticker tape but I still have the jerkiness. I will save your project for future reference though, thanks again! jim schaubeck 714-321-4499 -----Original Message----- From: use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of Nonsanity Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2011 10:05 PM To: How to use LiveCode Subject: Re: Livecode for Digital Signage Using hscroll of a field and the send in time command, I got very smooth text scroll on my Macbook Pro.
