I am using the modified version of V-Newsticker-2.2 that allows multiple lines of text per news item. I have hundreds of lines of text in one news item. When the first line reaches the top of the window it stops. I was hoping that it would continue to scroll like credits at the end of a movie.

I have set the v_timeout to 0.

This worked with the previous non-modified version however each line was a separate news item and there was a huge gap between lines.

Any ideas on how to make it continue on?

Thanks

I found that if I include a blank news itme at the end it will continue to scroll, however this created a new problem.

Once the top line of text scrolls off of the screen the bottom line of text ends at that point and it is then blank below this line until it scrolls of the screen. Then the original top line enter the bottom of the screen. I know this sounds confusing......in other words about 15 lines of text appear but the other 400+ lines never appear.

Thanks for any help you can give.
