Scrolling text window? For online help file...

edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
I am wanting to add a online manual for my game and I don't know how to do it - should I make a text object and put DisplayText to get the text in or should I generate a graphic image that has the Y dimension set larger than the screen size so people can scroll it down?

Please get back with me...

    I made a scrolling text box example on my wall that you can check out. The maximum height of the scrolling image is 1024 pixels.

    You cannot actually pull in live text from the internet, as GS is a closed environment...

    What do I do with the .game file? If I try and open it with gamesalad it says it does not know how to open Chess Games... What do I do to download the demo source?

    Change the extension of the .game file to .zip
    Then double-click the .zip file.
    That will give you the correct .gameproj file

    You can also open all the shared projects from the Shared Projects tab within GameSalad Creator.

    I looked at your scrolling example, but I needed to have more than 1024 pixels in my scrolling area so I wrote some code to page back & forth among the different pages of the documentation. Thanks for your help!
