I am looking to create a horizontal news scroller. In fact I once found one on the web but failed to bookmark it now I can't find it again. I have attached an image of what it needs to look like. It will load text from an external source and have links to the full news story.

I have this news scroller for work - Vertical member (160 X 600) And the idea is that it has 3 text fields (Headlines). These fields are lined up vertically (one at the top of the scroller, one at the middle, and one at the bottom.). I load them dynamically from XML, and after about 5 seconds, I have them all move up. (the top one goes up the top, and comes back from the bottom, the other two move up). The problem is that I am trying to center justify them. When they're loaded I can center justify them, using this code:
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.centerFunction = function() {
format = new TextFormat();
format.align = "center";
_root.news2.headline2_txt.setTextFormat(format);
_root.news3.headline3_txt.setTextFormat(format);
_root.news1.headline1_txt.setTextFormat(format);
}
Now, when they are first center justified by the code, they look slightly off, and once they move they arrange themselves correctly.

I've got a news-style scroller that has audio clips and text loaded in via an XML file. The text works fine and I can read the string of the mp3 file to play, but if I actually hit play, it only plays the LAST listed mp3 in the array instead of the one that should be playing.
Here's some code:
stop();
MovieClip.prototype.mV = function() {
this.onRollOver = function() {
this.t.colorTo(0x815249, .5);
this.roller.gotoAndPlay("over");
[Code] .....
What's happening is when you click the play button, it only plays the last song named in the XML file, and doesn't link to the correct url, but all the text is in the correct places.

I'm creating a vertical news scroller, that will eventually load in from an external text file and then just scroll the text in a movie clip vertically. I have this working but I have a couple of questions.
1. As the text reaches the end of the scroll I want it to start to fade out, I've added a IF statement to do this but it doesn't seem to fire. Why is this?
2. Even though I don't have any easing the scroll seems to slow down as its nearing the end of the animation, do you know why this is happening?
Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
import gs.easing.*;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(0,1);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, scrollNow);
myTimer.start();

I am trying to create a news rotator that pulls info and images from an XML file.I made something similar a while back which pulled just the headlines which worked great and I am trying to adapt this same idea to a current project. pull all the info from the XML and push them into separate arrays based on the type of information it is. ie title, description, image etc.From there I have a function which is supposed to display the all of the info and another which cycles through it based on a timer.Like I said before, this worked great with just the headlines, but when trying to add images its getting thrown off. The function which intends to parse the data and pushing it into separate arrays.
Code:
function onLoaded(evt:Event):void {
xml = new XML(evt.target.data);
var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item;
[code]....
I'm aware that it has something to do with either how the info for the images is being parsed (or not), and/or how I am going about displaying it.I was able to write a separate function which displayed one image as intended, but then wouldn't cycle through as the news changed.

Making an XML news reader based off of senocular Squirrel XML news.
I'm using Fuse and wanted to target the dynamic text and or background portions of the headline section.
However, this movie clip is attached to the menu_mc so I'm stumped as to what I should exactly target for the fuse sequence (or any mx.transition/zigo engine based code-tweening process for that matter).
I've attached the files in a .zip for people to look at (and possibly conquer my problem!

I wanted to add a second news box under the first one and have it pull the first two news items in the xml file and have it displayed on the movie. Currently it is putting the first news item in both news boxes.ction script so that the second box is actually the second "<news> tag". From the tutorial I removed the <info> <author> and <comment> tags.

fixing my XML thumbnail images to work with Claudio's scroller. The scroller doesn't adjust correctly to show all of the dynamically loaded thumbnails..? I found this thread explaining why this is happening but I haven't been able to correct the problem with the suggested fix.
http:[url]....Apparently the variable located inside my scroller,
"bottom= thumbnail_mc._y-mask_mc._height+thumbnail_mc._height-space;"
is set before the XML has finished loading so does not calculate the correct mc_height to work with the scroller and show all the thumbs at the bottom... ?

Im trying to make a horizontal scroller, that pulls images from an XML document, and scrolls them infinitely.I have 2 problems with this and I have been looking everywhere for a tutorial, or example that shows how to do this and I always find something that is close to what I want but not quite.Here is what I have so far:
Code:
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mcListener:Object = new Object();[code]....
What I'm wanting to do is instead of using 490 (underlined), I want to be able to get the width of each loaded image so that I can line up the next image right up against it regardless of its width (490 just happens to be the width of all of them right now).I'm trying to use the onLoadInit() function, but I know I'm doing something wrong. When I try and trace my mainLoader variable, it traces the right amount of times, but they are all the last object in the group.What do I need to do to be able to get the widths of each image as it loads, then use that variable to position the next image right after it?
also (a semi unrelated help request), what I'm doing right now is loading them ALL in creating one giant line of images, then loading in another giant line of images and just alternating between the 2 each time one is almost to the end of its length. Is there a better way to do this so that only the right amount will load, and scroll, at the beginning adding the one right before it enters stage, and as they move off stage they are removed, then when it's near the end it just adds the first one back to the end?

I created a News Ticker in Flash CS3 from a tutorial on your site URL...But it just flashes "undefined" I know I must be messing something up with the location of the XML file or where it's defined in the action script. I don't think I understand the "cache" part of the tutorial or why the file can't be local? I have gone to the suggested links in the tutorial, and being a total novice, I must be missing some main point.
