Sorry for the double post, but I've just tried this and I get an error message - "Error in <C:\Program Files\PlayBasic\SLib\fonts.pba>,55: Fatal Error - Font #5 Does Not Exist."

:(

[plink] 1.69D (http://www.underwaredesign.com/forums/index.php?topic=1150.msg13329#msg13329)[/plink] is current fx prototype. No idea if it'll work in that or not.

You're updating too often! Obviously I missed that one.

[EDIT] I had actually downloaded it - and put it into my PB folder - just never extracted it. D'oh.

BTW That scroller does work now. Excellent stuff :)
