Scrolling Text Script Request

[asutcavage]

Anyone have an example, or instructions, on how to create a scrolling text script for use in the VBrick Digital Signage application?

Thanks, in advance.

Hi asutcavage

The beauty of the VBrick DS solution is its flexibility so absolutely! Depending on your HTML skills the sky is really the limit….

Assuming that you are a HTML novice I would recommend using the “Digital Signage Generator” to create a text box at the coordinates where you want your scrolling text to appear, to this box add the text “scroll”.

Then open the slide in notepad or your text editor of choice (I recommend Crimson Editor which is freeware).

Now find the reference to “scroll” in your text editor, it should look something like this:

Code:

var vbodytext = "<font face='Arial'><font color='#000000'>scroll</font></font>";

Where it says “font” you need to change it to “MARQUEE” there should be two references.

Code:

var vbodytext = "<font face='Arial'><MARQUEE color='#000000'>VBrick are great!</MARQUEE></font>";

And you are done.
