Cobalt has an object that is an area to be used for publication of big texts: the ScrollingText.

It's very used in the creation of reports like that of the multiplayer application we will develop on this course.

The ScrollingText object has 2 objects inside it: the Text, where the text is placed, and an ScrollBar.

The object is instancialized graphically dragging it from the sub-window "Text" of the "Green window".

We can define its position and size using the "halo".

Opening the "Menu" we can see important definitions like: scrollBarOnLef and changeColor

Inside an script can be used:

show

hide

We will see, in the future, that, programming the use of a ScrollingText, we will use more the object Text it has inside, to receive data.
