I'm having a problem creating a horizontal scrolling text. I have a text that can be change in length, could be long sentence or a short one. I can't get a way to have all the text to be just one line (not wrap), the textbox always wraps the text. How can I accomplish this? I'm attaching a capx as an example. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response! Nice trick, it works! I was wondering if the movement of the text could be smoother since this solution adds character by character the movement is a little choppy. Thanks in advance.
Here's how to do that with your own custom font (I think I've posted this 4 times this week now ;p). You'll notice there's a little more control like pausing the text just by adding a "*" in the scroller text. You can add your own rules in this manner so you gain more control for fancier stuff
