			In MMF2, it won't let a text string leave the frame.  How do I fix this?

				There is always the Text blitter object. That has a scrolling text feature where you just type the text into the object and it automatically turns it into a credits style scrolly type thingy.

				Also, to make strings move when you scroll the frame, go to Properties > Runtime Options (the tab with the red arrow on it), then check Follow the frame.

vertical scrolling:
 
y position of string = y position of string +- (some constant)
 
 
horizontal scrolling:
 
x position of string = x position of string +- (some constant)
 
 
you need to elaborate. give an example of what YOU are doing. so we can tell you whats wrong.

				I think he meant he gave it a movement (like the bouncing ball movement) and it stops whenever part of it is outside the frame, but I don't know...

				No, actually.  My code looked exactly as cecil said.  However, there must be a property or something that I'm not checking off because as soon as the text hits the top of the frame, it wont move any more.

				As for X_sheep, yeah.  I knew that already.  Thanks, but it's a completely different situation.
