#Scroll Function
5 messages in this thread
Chuck,
I know that there are problems with the scroll function, so I'm not sure if
this is a know problem.
I just finished creating five scrolls. I don't know how many lines, but the
font used was Doughboy at 35 points. The speed was set to number 2 and the
total length of each scroll was about 40 seconds. That should give you an idea
of the size.
The type was inputed from an ASCII file. I wanted the type to be centered and
have drop shadows.
I double clicked on a line of type in CG, got the entire page to darken and
then set the above functions. I then pressed the slate to make sure that the
text had these attributes. It did.
I then saved it and pulled the save crouton into the project screen. When it
appeared on the screen, some of the lines of copy were not centered. In some
cases, only the first line had drop shadow.
I had created 5 different scrolls. In each scroll, the lines that were not
centered were different. IOW, on one scroll, the first line would not be
centered. On another scroll the first line was centered but halfway down a line
would not be centered.
I am having to go into each page and set separate line to make them center.
Is this a known problem or something new?

It is not one I've seen on the bug list, but I will pass your message to Test
as a bug report, and let you know what they confirm. I've heard scrolls are
pretty finicky still, but haven't seen details on this in the bug lists.

Chuck,
That was this morning and yesterday. This afternoon, I loaded a file into CG
that was 5 times the size of the ones I had problems. Guess what. It saved with
all proper functions the first time. Finicky is a mild discription.
However, when playing any of the key or scroll frames, they need an
unreasonalble amount of time to load. So, have your guys keep working on 'em.

Hi Fred –
I had the same problem several weeks ago and past the message on to tech
support. The size of the file is the problem. If you rerender the scroll, you
may be able to get the entire scroll to be centered, but I never succeedded in
getting all the proper attributes to work throughout. Splitting the scroll, if
you can, would probably solve the problem.

Thanks Hank,
Read my last message to Chuck about this. Today an even longer scroll worked
without a problem.
Spliting up scrolls would be fine if you could put two in a row and make them
work.
