   Have you checked with Lindsay Lights to see how he did this exact thing in 2008?  I think he mentioned a program he has that helps indicate which "pixels" should be on during each step of the side scroll.

	No, I didn't ask and turns out (for my very low resolution text) that it is very easy to do scrolling text. (from right to left, anyway) or even a big "smiley face" graphic. As long as the graphic or text can be done within a height of 8 pixels (low, low, low resolution), I can scroll it. Since my width is planned to be "only"16 pixels, perhaps my next test will be how to scroll something up and down. It is probably harder, but I haven't tried.

	Scanning for new info, I notice that I never put a final post here. My scrolling text worked well for the Relay for Life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NhJo08_pLE Other video from that night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUQL9Hwi3eU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za81Ez5i90M JonB
