Tickers

Tickers are objects. They are commonly used for news tickers, and real-time information feeds.

There are two main types of tickers:

• Crawl Tickers – Move text horizontally (right to left):
  • Continuous – The text repeats seamlessly with no gaps.
  • Staggered – A new text block enters only after the previous one disappears.
• Scroll Tickers – Move text vertically (top to bottom or vice versa):
  • Up – Moves text from bottom to top.
  • Down – Moves text from top to bottom.
  • Up & Down – Moves text up and down alternately.
