You could also have Rav cast the text as images and make the user think they
were going card to card and all you would do is produce the slide show
(blending would be a nice touch to produce a transition)

import snapshot of the rect of the formattedtext of line 1 to 24 of field
displayText as JPEG

fld displayText would be off-screen, the 'last image' would be the new one,
you could set it to the layer behind the current visible on, then do a
blendLevel to reveal the new image, then delete the old one.


You could trigger forward and backward image snapshots.

BTW, is there a reason you don't just set the scroll of a field as the user
clicks, rather than card to card?
