Roll Credits New Button Action
by Michael O'Keefe
This New Button Action allows you to automatically scroll
a text field. One obvious use for this would be to scroll
through a list of credits much like at the end of a motion
picture.
The options for the New Button Action are:
Name: Enter the name of the field to scroll. You can give
a field a name by selecting a field and choosing
'Field Info…' from the Objects menu.
Number of steps: Enter the number of scroll steps the field
should perform. Enter zero to scroll
to the very end of the field.
Speed: Enter then number of scroll steps that should occur
in a second. Use the 'Test Speed' button to get a
feel for the various speeds.
Scroll lines: Choosing this option will cause the scroll
to occur one text line at a time, regardless
of the font size.
Scroll pixels: Choosing this option will cause the field to
scroll the specified number of pixels
each step. Use this option for finer control
over the scrolling.
# of pixels: Enter the number of pixels the field should
scroll each step. A value of 1 or 2 will give
smooth scrolling for an average size font.
Other values might be used to scroll large
fonts at something other than a line at a
time. (A pixel is a dot on the screen, there
are 12 pixels from the bottom to top of the
character A)
