I have made a simple Flex news ticker(those marquee looking news often seen in CNN). It picks up content from an RSS feed. Check it out!

Great script
Would love to make the scrolling even smoother when using larger fonts tho. Got any idea for that?

The ticker seems to ease out at the end of the move. Is there anyway to get rid of that?

@gmoney
This is because of the default easingFunction for the move effect.
Basically, you can try setting this on the move effect
easingFunction="{Linear.easeNone}"You can try referring to this link for your solution.

Hi
Nice work – but the demos doen't seem to be working. The feed isn't being loaded in even when you click the reload button. Shame about the cross domain policy issue with Flash, as it would be nice to directly pull feeds in without having to cobble together a chron workaround or extra coding.

Very strange – it is working – but only sporadically. Refresh the page and it sometimes works – sometimes not. Is that the feed do you think or the Flex?

Hi Ben,
I have noticed this also. There is reason to believe it is due to the feed.
Here's a live working version that i have done for my company, http://www.sembawanggolf.org.sg
