Can I FORMAT SCROLLING TEXT


Can I FORMAT SCROLLING TEXT joshuataylordesign

flash (macromedia): I have a block of text that I have converted to dynamic text and made
scrollable. However, when I try to change part of the text to be a different
size, or bold, etc. - I can't do it. It changes the whole box of text. Can I
format just part of the text?
Also, this may be a different answer, but I want to add a small image into the
scrollable part of the text to denote a discounted price. How can i do that?

Just click on the "rates" "contact" or "about TBM" page.

Thank you so much for your help

You might be better off in this case to use htmlText. This way you can format
the text using html tags wherever you want, plus you will be able to insert
your small graphic image within the html string using an <img> tag.

Another method(if the text will always be the same) would be to create a MC of
the text string you want, using static text, format it however you would like,
add the image, then scroll the MC under a mask. (by interval, not by scroll
prop)
