Hey! Ever seen the News, and the latest was scrolling at the bottom of the Screen? Well, today I am going to tell you how to make that!

First, make your text that will be Scrolling. You can always change it, or make more using the switch to costume [ Costume v] block.

Make it into a sprite and duplicate it.

In the first sprite, put:

when gf clicked
go to (-405) (-155)
forever
repeat until <(x postiton)= [398]>
move (2) steps
end
go to (-405) (-155)
end

In the second sprite, put

when gf clicked
go to (-0) (-155)
forever
repeat until <(x postiton)= [398]>
move (2) steps
end
go to (-405) (-155)
end

There you go!

Feel free to add a bar at the bottom!

Fixed your Scratch blocks smile

You might want "change x by (2)" instead of "move (2) steps", so the direction of the Sprite doesn't effect the script.

You can just create a very large sprite with text that continues off the screen.
Even though you can't see the text when you edit it, it's still there.

No need for two sprites at all.

Nope. Scratch limits how far off-screen a sprite can go, based on its size. So a very huge sprite won't be able to go off-screen. Also, how would you handle the connection between the end and beginning in the wraparound:
Imagine • Program • Share • Imagine • Program • Share( • )Imagine • Program • Share

(bracketed bit)

One sprite wouldn't be able to end the word "share" and begin "Imagine". Unless you stamp, but then that's like having many sprites in the first place. wink

Thanks! I don't know why it didn't show up. And I think move () steps and change x by () are basically the same thing.

Then it doesn't fit all the text and might not repeat.

well move () steps moves IN THE CURRENT DIRECTION, while change x by () will move RIGHT IF IT IS POSITIVE OR LEFT IT IT IS NEGATIVE.

I fixed your script. You left out the "x:" and "y:" in your "go to" blocks.

to do this, you need text.

when gf clicked
repeat (5) //or however many. You can omit this if you want to scroll it once only.
 go to x: (240) y: (-130)
 repeat until <(x position) = (-240)> //and if you want to scroll it up, add a y position.
  change x by (-2) //or whatever speed you want it.
 end
 wait (1) secs // or whatever delay. You can do no delay.
end

hope it works. (even though i tested it.)
