Scrolling textHi

I would like to have a small block on my tp that shows a little description and a link to a down load.

I found this

Code Select

<!-- Script Size:  6.79 KB -->

However it only shows first bit which stays and does not show other texts

Rather than have a big space for my downloads I thought that a scrolling block with the name of the download would be better for space saving.

Anyone help
