Flash Text Scroll Articles
1: Creating a Flash Textbox Input
With a clean Stage, select the Text Tool from the Tools window and choose the following from the Properties Window:
Input Text from the Text Type drop down selector
Enable - Show Border Around Text
Multiline from the Line Type drop down selector
Now drag a Text Input Box like we have below. Note: We want to make it large enough so the scrollbar doesn't get squished inside this textbox.
2: Flash Textbox Input Scrolling
Creating a Textbox Input that scrolls is very easy in Flash because Macromedia has gone to the trouble to create everything for you. All you need to do is drag and drop the right components in the right place and Macromedia Flash Magic will do the rest.
3: Move Text Field
Now you need to insert a KeyFrame at Frame 250. With frame 250 selected drag the text box above the stage's viewable area like we have:
While still in frame 250, drag the text field above the viewable Stage area.
4: Flash Static Text Scrolling
To create effect of scrolling text we are going to use a Flash Motion Tween of a text symbol. We will take the text at one point in frame 1 to the end of our animation frame 350. Begin with a clean Stage and select the Text Tool from the Tools window. Choose static text, black text color, font size of 15 and a Verdana font from the Properties window.
