Well there are tons of tutorials out there, but I don't think they would call it an image marquee. You need to check out this post with tons of tutorials to search through http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=126424.
Doing some work before you submit a question will tell us you are willing to do the work, and that you are actually stuck. Right now it sounds like you just want someone to do it for you, and that is not nice. Check out those tutorials, and if you find one that works for you and are having trouble, we can do more help then.
You should check the rules, I don't know if this is a work project or school project, but read the rules please. http://www.codingforums.com/rules.htm

Hi, sorry my last post sounds like i was lazy.. i tried doing the marquee by reading up the stuffs etc. attached below is the source code which i written. On the surface its looks fine but the marquee could not display all the pictures i put in another folder.
my post looks quite lengthy. Gtg, in the meantime while waiting for your replys i going to keep trying where i went wrong or i need to add in more codes
First you should post your code in the post itself using the [ code ] brackets.
Second, you should post the actual FLA, so we can see it in action. Usually I work best when I can see the actual file instead of just the code. I get lost in the text.
I don't actually have time or the skill to sit here and try to read the entire code to figure out what it does, so if you would be so kind to post the fla I could be of more help. Thanks.

I sorry, i can`t realli put it in winzip file cos the place i doing my proj do not us to dl winzip, the nxt best thing i hav is winrar. but here is does not support...
If u having a veri hard time to try to understand, i veri sorrie

Honestly I just don't understand what you are asking for help with. You appear to have written a fairly complete script yet you are asking for something basic. You need to help me here, what are you wanting to resize? You change the value of the sizes using _height and _width...

Sorrie. Mayb i nt clear enough with my explanation. I wanted to change all the images in the (white background) to b the of the same height. Is tt even possible? I tried using resizing software, but looks no different, tt y i wondered could it even be done. Pls correct mi if my view is wrong & confusing u again.
ps: sorrie for always confusing u in my posts though u geniuely trying to help me...
Ok now I understand. You had been saying to change the size of the marquee, which I understood to be the entire window.
Code:
mc._height=120; //the height and width is set to 120.
mc._xscale=mc._yscale; // set the Y axis and the X axis.
This might do it. Again I can't test anything so I'm not sure. If you can use WinRar, you can still zip a file. You just have to make sure you export a file as .zip instead. If this doesn't work please try posting the file itself in a zip (or if you are using Windows just right click on the folder and select Send To -> Compressed (zip))

Hi jeremy, if u dun mind calling mi calling u in short.
The image resizing i dun realli nid it now. The present tasks for I nid to do is firstly,( when the cursor touch the marquee the movement of the whole marquee will stop moving). Secondly ( the images when clicked will go to a website, the website muz be written in the same txt folder whrere i put the images names). btw, the mouse action izzt called mouseover? I was tinking of writing the .txt file in javascript & putting all the website names in it then saving it in .html file or . Do u tink can it be done??
The zipped folder is quite big for tiz forum 594kb. mostly the images folders.
Jeremy is fine A mouseover is correct. logos_mc.onMouseOver would probably do it, and then you would want to write a function that would stop the marquee. Then onMouseOut you would start the marquee again.
You are splitting the .txt file up by searching the strings, so you should be able to use the same method but by using a different delimiter value to send the second value (the URL) into the array so it is associated with the image. Then you would have to add a property of 'onRelease' to the individual image clips with a getURL method to load the links.

So does tt means i cannot write the .txt ( images names file) in javascript? i can`t put the websites names in the .as file & muz put it in the .txt file.
if i misinterept wat u r saying, i quite sorrie. Cos i dun realli understand. Your explaination is too detailed
