Here's a basic ticker that would work. Just modify the top two variables to start and test. The other variables can be altered if you know a little bit for fine tuning.
All you need to do to have this work is create a new as3 document in flash, click frame one, paste the code into the action script window, size the document to your preferred size and you're done.
//SCROLLING SPEED
var scrolling_speed:int = 10;
//TEXT TO SCROLL
var text_to_scroll:String = "This is my text";
//establish the field
var my_text:TextField = new TextField();
//add the field to stage
addChild(my_text);
//set the text
my_text.text = text_to_scroll;
//set the x coord off right side of stage
my_text.x = stage.stageWidth;
//set y coord in middle of stage (about)
my_text.y = (stage.stageHeight/2)-(my_text.height/2);
//not selectable
my_text.selectable = false;
//no border
my_text.border = false;
//field scales with more text
my_text.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
//set a format
var my_text_format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
//set the color to the hex
my_text_format.color = 0x000000;
//set the font size
my_text_format.size = 24;
//apply formatting
my_text.setTextFormat(my_text_format);
//add the listener to scroll
my_text.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,move_text);
//scroll function
function move_text(myevent:Event):void {
my_text.x-=scrolling_speed;
if(my_text.x<(0-my_text.width)){
my_text.x=stage.stageWidth;
}
}
