Marquee Text

Using the 'Marquee Text' component you can display selected text on the page as scroll text.  The displayed text and the parameters for the behaviour of the scrolling text can be set and modified

using the inputs of the component in runtime mode. With an on/off signal at the data point "Visible" the component will be switched visible / invisible in runtime. An on signal switches the component visible, an off signal invisible.
