Hi Aaron
From what I can see it looks like you put in , (comma) at the end. Example below...
Quote:
v_content=[
['http://www.smartmenus.org/other.php','<img src=strelka.gif align=top width=20 height=11 border=0>Welcome to the V-NewsTicker example page! Presenting the best FREE vertical news scroller ever written.','_blank'],
['','<img src=strelka.gif align=top width=20 height=11 border=0>Featuring: support for the most popular browsers, easy setup, small size, pausing, sliding up or down...','_blank'],
['http://www.smartmenus.org/','<img src=strelka.gif align=top width=20 height=11 border=0>Don\'t wait and also get the most advanced navigation system for your site- the SmartMenus DHTML menu.','_blank'], <-- There's the comma
];
See if removing the comma in red at the end makes it work. I hope I've explained that correctly, but I'm sure Vasil can advise if my suggestion proves to be wrong.

still doesn't work...

I believe you may have left out a comma somewhere. May I have a look at your v_newsticker.js file?
