dynamic text / newsticker

by Tom Vogt · in Technical Issues · 08/29/2002 (7:23 am) · 2 replies

I'm looking for a way to create something like a "newsticker", i.e. a text display that is updated continuously (every second or couple seconds) with text either from a file (selecting random lines) or some other external source.
so far, I've had little luck. do I need to create a new gui element for this or is it possible with an existing one and some scripting?

I've found one. I'll post a resource for it.
