Hey, i wanted to know if it was possible to use html language in media. The thing is, i'm doing a multimedia presentation.

And i wanna try and make texts look more interesting like, marquee and glow and stuff like that.

Is there a way?

Thanks.

Dear Taz,

You will find a lot of information if you search for "browse" in the built-in Rev documentation. Additionally, you should read the information about the htmlText property.

Very important hint: don't use marquee and glow etc to make textbooks more interesting. That kind of stuff is just extremely annoying.

Best Regards,

I believe that virtually everybody on this planet, and any others: has their own style of 'Interesting ---> Extremely Annoying'. In which case making varieties of presentation available might be most 'Interesting' to the widest audience.

I'd place the text on sails of yachts visiting places on round the world tours. While I'd be incapable of forgetting materials presented like this; some of you are already seasick at the thought of it.

Perhaps I'll stick RRev scripts on sails, then watch what happens as they execute ? Haven't been able to understand scripting any other way, so far ! :?
