Marquee

ID:161416 May 9 2008, 5:03 am
Howey	I want to something on a label, but when I just put text it locks the resource up. Welcome to Chat Masters. I hope you have a great time here, and remember; Subscribers get bonuses!! Subscribe on the hub page. This is the text I want to put on. The main question is, is it possible to do? And if it is how do I do it? If it is impossible to do the on a label, would it be possible with a browser?

The lock is caused by trying to compile while the game is running.

It is not possible.

Yes, but it wouldn't look very good in a mini-browser. Of course, it wouldn't look very good period, because the marquee tag is purest evil. You should never use it, ever, for any reason, including if someone tries to force you to at gunpoint.
