What exactly is the scrolling problem? I made a simple script to scroll the text in a loop but it has the same basic elements as the scripts you've already tried so I don't know if it will work any better. Is the text not moving at all? Does it keep going out of range? The key is making the text a child to a mask object. The mask object acts as a boundary in which the text scrolls.
In any case, here's another script for you to try.
This script will wait 2 seconds before starting to scroll the text in a loop.
Your dealing with 2 objects here, the text object and a mask object (the area your scrolling in).
Create the mask object.
Set the width and height of the mask object.
Position the text object inside the mask object.
Set the text object's parent to the mask object.
Set the mask object's opacity to 1.
You should have this:
Maskobject: Parent, opacity=1
Textobject: Child, parent= maskobject
Insert this script into the your text object:
Dim startposX
Dim startposY
Dim startoverpos
startposX = desktopx.object("maskobject").width/2 - object.width/2
startposY= desktopx.object("maskobject").height/2 - object.height/2
startoverpos= desktopx.object("maskobject").width
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
'--Set the starting position center of mask
object.top = startposY
object.left = startposX
object.settimer 1, 2000
End Sub
'---2 second pause before scrolling
Sub object_ontimer1
object.killtimer 1
object.settimer 2, 10
End Sub
Sub object_ontimer2
'--If object is completely out of view move to start over position
If object.right <= 0 then
Object.left = startoverpos
End If
'--Move object back 1 pixel everytime the timer fires
object.left= object.left - 1
End Sub
Hope you work everything out with the scrolling and volume.

If it looks like your thread is disappearing without trace/response simply repost to it yourself [the word 'bump' will do] as the threads rearrange themselves to most recently responded, and thus do not stay at the date of their inception...
As you probably now have realised....
