Livecode for Digital Signage

[Jim Schaubeck]

Chris,
Thank you for sending your sample !!!

I worked with your code a bit and changed this line:
put dTime / 300 into pTime-- changed to 300

This made the test move a similar speed (faster than your speed) to a stock
ticker tape but I still have the jerkiness.

I will save your project for future reference though, thanks again!

Using hscroll of a field and the send in time command, I got very smooth
text scroll on my Macbook Pro. Here's the stack I tested with:

Let me know how it works for you.
