Ticker Tape at bottom of screen

Is there a way in videoplayer I can add a Ticker Tape that scrolls at the bottom of the screen, and is only going to scroll what is typed into the xml external file? Something in my xml may say, Please check out the latest shows added today July 9, 2012. I want it to scroll until I change the message.
No internet source feed. Any pointers where I can look?

Thanks,

DA

Re: Ticker Tape at bottom of screen

To do this you need to use the roVideoPlayer component, not roVideoScreen, and create an roImageCanvas on which the text gets rendered. Take a look at the CustomVideoPlayer sample in the SDK, it should get you started.
