Ticker Tape text scroller...

I am able to make a ticker-tape text scroll from right to left on my screen in PowerPoint,
but it scrolls so fast it is impossible to read it! Can it be slowed down? Please reply. Thanks!
H. Slovic

Dear Meg St. Clair,
Thanks for your reply! Very kind of you, and I appreciate.
Actually, I'm working on an iMac using PowerPoint for Mac in MS Office for Mac. I have succeeded in creating a right-to-left "ticker tape" of text at the bottom of the screen, but there is no way to adjust/control the speed of "fly by," and it currently flies by so fast it is a blur--not very useful... The "ticker tape" function is so "basic" (it appears on almost every news channel here in Japan), that it amazes me it's not a standard animation feature on either PowerPoint or Keynote. H. Slovic

! help ! led-style ticker tape?

I have not been able to find a led-style ticker tape that's not pay-for-use anywhere. And the one I found online doesn't seem to work when I tweak it. Can anyone help me?
I'm looking for a ticker tape that I can set the background to a color, the text to another color, and preferably no border.
If you can figure out something, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

How can you create a TICKER TAPE in MUSE?

I would like to have a ticker tape on my website which I am desiging in Adobe Muse. Is this possible and can someone explain how I can so this? Thanks

Hi Melissa,
At the moment, probably the easiest way to do this is using Edge Animate, or another tool, to animate the text in a loop, and then place that within Muse. There are a lot of tutorials online that can help you do that, like this one on Lynda.com. You can also find help over on the Edge Animate forums section if you find you need more assistance.
Hope that helps

Ticker tape

I have just been told to see if I can provide text that is like a Wall street ticker tape for a test sequence. Any ideas where I would begin with that one?
Brian

In FCP, click on the Generator Button (the button with the "A" on it in the lower right corner of the Viewer) and from the drop down menu, choose Boris > Title Crawl.
Edit that to the timeline (it will be empty) where you want your text crawl to take place, then double click on the clip you just edited to load it to the viewer. Click on the Controls Tab, then the "Title Crawl" button. This will bring up the pane where you can enter and stylize your text.
When you have your text entered, click apply to have the text appear on the timeline. Depending on the horse power and complexity of the material the crawl is place on, you may have to render to see the effect play back in real time.
You can use the other controls under the control tab to make other adjustments.

Ticker tape during presentation??

Hello all. I'm a newbie with iMac. I use it in an education context - our school's announcements are presented on a few flat screen VGAs in the school using Keynote. My question... is there a better program out there that will do the same thing (ie. presentation in slide and video format) that will also allow me to display the weather or a ticker tape at the bottom with other announcements???
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
G.

Welcome to the forums, turboprof.
You might check out the Revolution line of
multimedia authoring products. They're based on a
Hypercard-like foundation, and so should be much more
flexible than Keynote (although they may lack many of
Keynote's beautiful graphical niceties). You might
also check out iSh
ell, although it appears it is more geared to CD
multimedia.
Thank you. I guess what I'm looking for is the software tv companies use. (ie. CP24 in Toronto). I've looked at what you suggested and I don't think it will answer to our school's needs.

Keynote news ticker?

Can i make a "news ticker" like object in keynote, like the scrolling text at the bottom of news programs?

Keynote can't do what you want directly. You may be able to get the effect you want by using this Dashboard-based technique.

Creating a CNN, Sky type news ticker

Hi,
I have a three minute video and would like to add a news ticker that will loop once during the three minutes. The ticker text is considerable. Before I used to use Sony Vegas. A video I created using Sony Vegas is at http://youtu.be/bmcXM7fE6s0 (jump to 35 seconds into the footage for the ticker at the bottom).
I managed to get credits type text (scrolling vertically) with Premiere Pro but cannot figure out the ticker. Although I've done an introductory Lynda.com course on Premiere Pro this is my first attempt at producing something with Premiere to upload to youtube and am a newbie in this product.
I would be greatful if anyone can point me to a text or video tutorial on this item.
Regards,
Al

More detailed steps:
Create a new Title (right-click in the project area, click the icon, etc.)
Set it to the sequence dimensions (the default)
Choose the Type tool (the T symbol) - NOT the Area Type tool.
Click once at the bottom-left of the screen, at the vertical position where you want the ticker to be.
Pick the font, size, color, fill, etc on the properties tree that now displays.
Click again on the small vertical box marking the position of the type box, you'll see it flash as the cursor wakes up.
Copy and paste your ticker text - it must be all on one line, so it helps to copy it from a text editor.
The text box will enlarge to fit, so it'll extend waaay off the right side of the window.
Click the Roll/Crawl options tool (the second icon below the name of the title on the panel tab, a set of lines with a vertical arrow)
Choose Crawl Left, and (usually) start/end off screen.
Click OK and close the titler window.
Drop the new title onto the sequence timeline and stretch it out to set the in/out points, and hence the crawl speed.
If you want a lower third background graphic behind the text (anything other than a plain fill), you'll need to put that in another video track beneath your ticker title - everything in your ticker title will crawl.

News Ticker - Java Script

Hello,
This is the java script I use to create a news ticker on one of my pages. It can be included anywhere in your application - region header, body or footer:
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
Cross browser Marquee script- Â© Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com)
For full source code, 100's more DHTML scripts, and Terms Of Use, visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com
Credit MUST stay intact
//Specify the marquee's width (in pixels)
var marqueewidth="300px"
//Specify the marquee's height
var marqueeheight="20px"
//Specify the marquee's marquee speed (larger is faster 1-10)
var marqueespeed=1
//configure background color:
var marqueebgcolor="#DEFDD9"
//Pause marquee onMousever (0=no. 1=yes)?
var pauseit=1
//Specify the marquee's content (don't delete <nobr> tag)
//Keep all content on ONE line, and backslash any single quotations (ie: that\'s great):

ns_marquee.document.write(marqueecontent)
ns_marquee.document.close()

lefttime=setInterval("scrollmarquee()",20)
window.onload=populate
function scrollmarquee(){

if (parseInt(cross_marquee.style.left)>(actualwidth*(-1)+8))
cross_marquee.style.left=parseInt(cross_marquee.style.left)-copyspeed+"px"
else

with (document){
document.write('<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><td>')
if (iedom){
write('<div style="position:relative;width:'+marqueewidth+';height:'+marqueeheight+';overflow:hidden">')
write('<div style="position:absolute;width:'+marqueewidth+';height:'+marqueeheight+';background-color:'+marqueebgcolor+'" onMouseover="copyspeed=pausespeed" onMouseout="copyspeed=marqueespeed">')

write('</div></div>')

write('</ilayer>')
document.write('</td></table>')
</script>
This works fine and I would like to include some dynamic content into this script. Either some page iteme content or even some query results. My java script knowledge is quite "skinny" so I got to ask how to do that?
Thanks in advance,
Denes

Denes,
I just came across your thread.
Just replace within
var marqueecontent='<nobr><font face="Arial"><b>This is where my text goes.<b/></font></nobr>'...
the: "THIS is where the text goes." with: &P1_text.
and you can manipulate the text dynamically.
Ofcourse you hv to create the item P1_text and shortly after you keyed in s.th. and push "Enter" - then the data is in the Session (look at Session in Developer bar).
After "Enter" the ticker/marquee works with your data.
Alternative 2:
Define in Application Attributes under Static Substitution Strings a "GLOBAL_ITEM" with a value: say: my News - then replace &P1_TEXT. by &GLOBAL_ITEM. (beware of the '.' after the item !!! it has to be there !!
Alternative 3:
Work with a table:
A)Define a table called "NEWS" with the fields News_id, text, active_inactive - work with sequence..
B) Define form and report for data entry. In the form go to the item "active_inactive" and modify iot to be a radio-button with LOV : STATIC: Yes,No
C) still use the item P1_text and in the attributes of the item go to "Source" - select "SQL-Query" and key in:
select text from news where active_inactive = 'Yes' - modify the P1_text item as "hidden"
--> now you can manage your news and just the "Active" news are shown.
Advanced: make sure, that only one record is active !!
Have fun !! (:-)

News ticker with jquery

Hi
has anyone implemented a new ticker in APEX using jquery?
I have tried to implement the liScroll news ticker detailed on the website:
http://www.gcmingati.net/wordpress/wp-content/lab/jquery/newsticker/jq-liscroll/scrollanimate.html
but to no avail. Firebug is not reporting any errors on my APEX page that I am trying to use the new ticker on and I can see all imported .js scripts that the instructions on the website say to use - but my list just remains as a list.
We are using APEX 3.1.
Many thanks
Paul

I use the following script in some of my applications: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/cmarquee.htm
I modified it slightly to use an APEX application item at the following line of javascript:
var marqueecontent='<nobr><font face="Arial"><b>&APPLICATION_MESSAGE.<b/></font></nobr>'See if that will help..
Thank you,
Tony Miller

Adding Flash ticker tape display of still photos

This questions is really directed to "Old Toad" - I find your sample iWeb site extremely useful however I have a question. On your example of a flash ticker tape display you mention that the HTML was obtained from OVI.COM - I cannot find anything even remotely related on this site - HELP??

Pat:
First you need to create an account on OVI.com, upload the photos you want to a "channel". That's somewhat equivalent to an album in iPhoto. In that channel you click on share this channel and there will be code available for a ticker tap, a slideshow, etc. You copy that code and put it into an HTML Snippet on a page. Viewers who click on the ticker tape would normally be taken to your channel at the OVI.com site. To prevent that put a transparent shape over the ticker tape item.

Adding news ticker or text scroller in a jsf page

Can anyone please give me some clue about adding news ticker or text scroller kind of component using jsf, richfaces or icefaces in which important information like information about available jobs can be shown?
Thanks in advance.

this is more the realm of javascript / ajax / DHTML, not JSF. JSF is server side, what you want to do is mostly client side. Only getting the data might involve the server.
