Can anyone point me as to how do I go about writing an applet/application which displays the text such that it scrolls across the screen.

Will I need to use java 2d?

TIA

If it is a simple applet, you can use

drawString(String msg, int x, int y)

method of Graphics class. x is the position of the first character of the message. x,y co-ordinates are with respect to the Graphics context in your applet. You can increment x in a loop to simulate scrolling text across your applet.

Ah. But how do you get the text to wrap when it hits the edge?

Sorry. I posted too hastily. The applets on that page don't include the source.

Or you could just use the <marquee> HTML tag. I'm not sure if all browsers support it, though.
