I didn't even see this challenge and I haven't caught up with the others yet :(

[Ian Price]

Sorry for the double post, but I've just tried this and I get an error message - "Error in <C:\Program Files\PlayBasic\SLib\fonts.pba>,55: Fatal Error - Font #5 Does Not Exist."

:(

[kevin]

  With what version of PB?

[Ian Price]

The latest update - 1.69c.

[kevin]

1.69D (login required) is current fx prototype.   No idea if it'll work in that or not.

[Ian Price]

You're updating too often! Obviously I missed that one.

[EDIT] I had actually downloaded it - and put it into my PB folder - just never extracted it. D'oh.

BTW That scroller does work now. Excellent stuff :)
