Scrolling Text in label

Submitted by JokerMartini on Fri, 2012-03-02 13:12

Is it possible to make the sentence text in a label scroll from left to write?
I've come across someones script before where they had some animated text in the ui but I'm not sure where or whose it was.

Anyone have any ideas on ways to do this?

timer?

Is it something like this?
(just a sketch idea, not tested)

local message = "Hello"
 
label animLabel "Hello"
 
on myClock tick do
(
	if message.count > 1 then
		message = substring message 2 -1
	else
		message = "Hello"
	animLabel.text = message
)
