Hello, has anyone created a text box with Marquee style scrolling text?
Hello, has anyone created a text box with Marquee style scrolling text? I can’t get the old marquee HTML tag to work, didn’t find any existing scripts, and haven’t figured out a way to do it in JS. Any thoughts or guidance is appreciated.

Cool, thank you for sharing. That’s much more complicated than I expected. I haven’t been able to figure out what I need to change to get it to work on my object-could you please point me in the right direction?
Yeah, I’ve definitely got something messed up-I have a test object set to run the script on tap event. It does run, but on a completely current object on desktop.
