I recently found myself needing a scrolling news ticker for a web project. I searched the Web for a scrolling news ticker implementation based on the MooTools Javascript Programming Framework. I was not able to find anything so I made my own implementation.

NewsTicker.js contains the NewsTicker class implemented using MooTools. Documentation is included in the source. Requires the following MooTools components:

• Moo.js – required
• Utility.js – for $clear()
• Element.js – for Element
• Common.js – for Options

Currently it can only scroll left to right, it could be made configurable to scroll right to left but I don’t have the time to work on that yet.
