    Auto starting scrolling frame

      Scrolling frames are great but cannot be autostarted. That means something like a long movie credit list, as far as I understand, can only be a movie that I prepare in Flash and takes a lot of memory.

       

      I also tried via an external html page that does trigger scrolling text automatically in my browser, but the import into DPS does not work.

       

      Unless I am maissing something?

       

      Thanks

          I'm trying to do the same (auto start a scrolling frame), but am having trouble as well. I've tried the <marquee> html tag and it works when I preview the html in my browser (Firefox) and works in the Adobe DPS desktop content viewer. However, it does not work on the iPad.

           

          My current work around is to create the scrolling animation in Hype and import it as a local html file. Unfortunately, the scrolling animation in Hype has some jumpy spots.

            Thanks; I agree on the workaround but for some reason a full screeen Hype animation embedded in a 768x1024 container html won't produce a full screen animation, it is always scaled down by a few %. When trying to perfectly align indd elements with the Hype content, it does not work!
