CREDIt ROll
A Credit Roll object is a section of a page that houses vertically scrolling text, similar to credits at
the end of a movie. It is ideal for long messages, menus, or lists of information that will not fit on a
typical as standard text. Credit Roll also allows you to use larger text than you might normally, due
to the removal of some space restraints.
A Credit Roll object must be linked to a .TXT file that contains the text to be displayed.
From the page editor, click on the Credit Roll button.
The credit roll object will be added on to the page and the properties dialog for it will be displayed
automatically.
A text file must be selected before the OK button is enabled. Clicking on the Cancel button will
close the dialog and remove the object from the page. Click on the Browse button and select a
.TXT file containing the text you wish to scroll up the screen.
Horizontal Indent: Effectively a margin setting. The number represents how many pixels of a
cushion the text will be given on both sides of the object.
Speed: The speed at which the text will scroll from bottom to top.
Visible Lines: Controls how many lines of text will be shown at once as the text scrolls. Increasing
this number will make the text smaller. This control is provided in place of a control for the font size.
The lower half of the Credit Roll tab features controls to adjust the Background, Border, and
Outline of the entire credit roll object.
The font and associated properties for the credit roll object is controlled from the Font tab.
Select the font, color, and outline/shadow properties as desired. The Size field is disabled as it
controlled instead by the Visible Lines field on the Credit Roll tab.
