Automatic Text Scroller - Please help

[ColdFusionKing]

I am after a basic text scroller that reads the contents from a text file and automatically scrolls, similar to the news scroller. See I don't know that much flash, I've just started to work on flash and my manager wants me to do this scroller by the end of the day. Please can somebody just post some link or code which reads a text file and displays the contents of the text file in a dynamic text box with automatic scrolling. I have searched the entire forum site, but can't find anything at all. Please somebody help me.

Regards
Allan

This one may be a starting point...

I went to the page you sent. Just tell me, do I have to download any component/widget to use this script?

Nope! Just download the .fla on that link (to the right of the scroller) and then open it up in Flash. You'll most probably have to edit the text file so that your own text shows up, and could possibly get rid of the control buttons, if you don't want any of those.

Can somebody please show me how to get the continous scrolling text effect? I want to read the contents from a text file. I'm sure there are a lot of flash gurus in this forum.
