Have just tryed to implement this action and followed what was said in a previous thread about this action, also followed the instructions on Actions Forge regarding this.
The HTML box is layered, with overflow set to ‘Hidden’, action applied with speed set to: 2 & text direction: Right to Left.
When published, it displays as a normal Text Box with just Text.
Does not work. What am I doing wrong?? I’m using FW 5.6.4
Sorry about that David. Have a look at http://www.pal4paws.co.uk/test.html and you should see what I mean. It’s the text in the middle of the page that has got the action applied to it.
am not sure what is meant by this but in fact there are actions that are built for layered items only. The ticker is one of them.
RPL is behind the curtain turning your layered lay-out into nested DIVs (inline) which will break the functions. But you excluded this item from RPL and you should be fine or?
Another possibility is always to seek for a code based stuff (an external script) which you could add via markup (CrowBar) into your artwork.
My test text text 2 comes along text 3 comes along too!

Hi David,
How do you make the text appear on the right side of box?
For me, it always fulfills the html box, putting the first word on the left side. This way, as the text starts to scroll, the first word immediately disappears.
