There are two ways to scroll text:
1. In BrightAuthor use Ticker zone for displaying text:
(in Ticker zone you can show .txt files, RSS feeds, Twitter and variables)
Steps:
- Add a Ticker zone to your BrightAuthor presentation (Edit > Layout)
- Navigate to Edit > Playlist, select the Ticker zone, and click Zone Properties.
- Set the Text Appearance to Scrolling.
- Click OK to exit the Edit Zone window when finished.
2. Implement text scroll in HTML/CSS/Javascript language, then use the HTML5 object in Images zone in BrightAuthor for playback of webpage.
Note: BrightAuthor preview doesn't support scroll text. The presentation should be published and tested on the real BrightSign player instead of previewing in BrightAuthor.
Text scroll feature is also available in BrightScript via the roTextWidget object and JavaScript via the BSTicker object.
