Hi I am evaluating opus creator for creating digital signs and so far so good.
I would like to add to all the pages a global news ticker that scrolls along the bottom. I created a simple application with another program that reads and rights text to a notepad text file and I need the news ticker in opus to read from this text file.
The idea is that clients can just write whatever messages they want without having to close the opus show.

Ive searched the forums and found a ticker tape example
This solves the firts part of what I am trying to achieve but I am not very good a programming.

Thank you

Claudio

Hi Claudio,

Here's a simple little script based ticker that will read the feeds from a text file in the publication directory.

Enjoy,

Mack
