How do you animate basic text in FlashDevelop?

Question

I need a text to be sliding on the Y axis but i cannot seem to figure out the code for it?
Any ideas?

Answer 1

start a loop (like enterframe) and repeatedly update the textfields position:
var tf:TextField=new TextField();
addChild(tf);
tf.text="whatever";
someobjectwithanenterframeevent.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,enterframeF);
function enterFrameF(e:Event):void{
tf.y+=3;
if(tf.y>whatever){
tf.y=0;  // or terminate the loop
