Ticker Row The next level up contains 3 instances of the single group clip. It waits until it recieves the ready signal, then arranges the groups in a row (See code below). When it is arranged, it tells the clip above it that it is ready.
Comment: These commands arange the 3 groups of ticker symbols in an evenly spaced line.
Set Property ("group1", X Position) = - (group1:_width + /:space)
Set Property ("group2", X Position) = 0
Set Property ("group3", X Position) = group3:_width + /:space
Set Property ("group1", Y Position) = "0"
Set Property ("group2", Y Position) = "0"
Set Property ("group3", Y Position) = "0"
Set Variable: "..:ticker_ready" = "1"

The next level up is in charge of actually moving the assembled ticker. It contains 6 Actions in the first 6 frames which essentially waits until it recieves the ready signal from its interior movie before it moves the ticker. The following will be a list of the Actions in the frames to help you visualise whats happening.  <%BR%> Actionscript Frame 1:Comment: This frame and the next form a loop that waits for the ticker to assemble itsself before animation begins. "ticker_ready" is passed up from inside the "triple_group" clip. If (ticker_ready EQ 1) Go to and Play (3) End IfFrame 2: Go to and Play (1)Frame 3:
Comment: First, move the clip so we can see it. It begins hidden so the user can't see the clip as it assembles itsself.
Set Property ("triple_group", Y Position) = "0"
Set Variable: "loop_width" = triple_group/group1:_width + /:space
Set Variable: "start_x" = triple_group:_x
Comment: This is the default speed of the ticker, measured in pixels per frame. If this number is positive, the ticker moves from left to right. Negative numbers provide the opposite result.
Set Variable: "base_speed" = "1"
