Insert the Promotional Ticker

In this tutorial you will be using a text file for the Juicy Food overlay.

Create a text file object by clicking the  icon on the overlay toolbar. Right click on the text file object and select ‘Select File’.

 

 

Browse to the Juicy Food folder and select and open ‘ticker news.txt’. Change the scrolling property of the Text File object in the property grid on the left to ‘Yes’.

 

 

The text object now stretches across the width of the overlay and the text begins to scroll from right to left. You’ll notice the text has an opaque background by default. To change this, set the transparency of the Text File object to 100% in the property grid.

 

 

Adjust the font properties as you did with the ODBC objects until you are happy with the font color and size.
