Scrolling text in popup (request) by DennisMartijn on 02-12-2007 at 01:24 PM

http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=70806

used that plugin to create this script... not. the script in the link consists of 2 files, scroller.js and the other. so far i only managed to use scroller.js. but without succes. so, here's my basic code:

code:
function OnEvent_ContactSignin(Email)
{
    if(Email == "xxxx@hotmail.com") //Change for sign-in email
    {
        var Message = "xxxx is online:D" + "!";
        Message = MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(Message);
        MsgPlus.DisplayToast("", Message); (add Scroller.js);
    }
}
function OnEvent_ContactSignOut(Email)
{
    if(Email == "xxxx@hotmail.com") //Change for sign-in email
    {
        var Message = "xxxx is offline:(" + "!";
        Message = MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(Message);
        MsgPlus.DisplayToast("", Message);
       

    }
}

now, i want the text that appears in the Toast to move right to the left, like the text in the media player plugin, link above.

i tried several things, but it turned out i needed more than that... anyway.. feel free to use my (maybe others too:P) to use this script, but please help me first(A)

(PS: yes, i know smilies aren't possible in toasts, but whatever:P)

It's not possible without making a custom toast and continuously editing the text to make it appear to be scrolling. Making custom toasts has several complex issues though that make it highly complicated to do (such as positioning). You could search the forum, but I don't think there is another way to do it
