Scrolling Text:
This is rather complicated, but here goes:
The actual "text" is a PNG graphic file with a clear background. Keep note of the X/Y size - it's rather important. Use 320 width, since that's the screen's width, and makes for easier calculation.
You'll also need 2 variables: One for the X coordinate, and one for the Y coordinate.
Now, here's how you set the X/Y coordinates:
scrX = (1/2 the picture width)
scrY = 240 + (1/2 the picture height)
And while you're at it, you'll want this number as well:
StopNum = Picture height * -1.5
--------------
Put this code in wherever you want:
<>Variable oper: [0081:scrX], Set, 160
<>Variable oper: [0082:scrY], Set, 360
<>Variable oper: [0082:StopNum], Set, -540
<>Show Picture: 1, scrollerpic, (V[0081],V[0082])
<>Move Picture: 1, (V[0081], V[0083]), 20.0 sec (Wait)
Set the delay time to whatever you want.
---------------------------
As to the Move Event, I can't help much unless you want a specific thing to happen. Move Right and Face Up would move the event right and then make it face upward. Not much else I need to explain, unless you want something more.. complicated.
