anim smooth for text

i'm trying to get the anim smooth script usually used for waterfalls etc. to display a texture that has words on it, such that is looks like the words are running along the screen like a bulletin... how do you control the direction the text flows?

Look in the library portion of your inventory for "waterfall". Poking around in the library will yield some interesting finds, including the "anim_smooth" script you're looking for.

You can't control the direction. I believe the texture flows right to left like a normal ticker. If you need the text to flow left to right, like arabic news tickers, then you may have to render a specially formatted texture. Try rendering the texture upside down, then flip the prim upside down. That's a guess but basically, you have to design the texture to work for the direction of the smooth anim function.

sometimes you can use a negitive speed setting to get the image running backwards, i forget the exact magic tricks to get it working (im on dialup atm) but maby that will help

Is smooth even working these days? All mine are no at this point

Try the REVERSE flag instead of a negative speed.
