I am looking at ScrollingText module, but no setting as below. Could someone add it or teach me how to do? Thanks.
Display static Text hold on 5 sec. and then beginning Scrolling
Expect coding:
local scroller = ScrollingText.add( "[Title]", 0, 0, 100, 75, ScrollType.HORIZONTAL_LEFT );
scroller.settings.holdon = 3000
scroller.settings.delay = 3000;

I'm not sure what you are asking to do. What do you mean by "hold on".. only display text when you hold a button?

Sorry, my English doesn't good enough.
As below script, scrolling is starting from x axis 600 to 25. Can it change to start at 25?
local scroller = ScrollingText.add( "[Title]", 25, 50, 600, 75, ScrollType.HORIZONTAL_LEFT );

No worries about your english! I understand.. I may be able to add an option for where to start the scrolling from, I also need to update it to make use of the new "measure text" feature for newer attract mode. Might take me some time, but I'll try to get something ready soon.

"measure text" is great. You hit the point that I also would like to say. Many Thanks and waiting for good news. :)

I have further request. Please kindly also consider.
1. If the text is shorter than text box width, please add option to disable scrolling effect
2. As below clip period 00:06 - 00:09, the title area is empty since waiting for next. Can you make it sequence? Don't appear this empty gap. Thanks.

I'll see what I can do. The empty gap is because I didn't have a way to know the actual width of the text object, but the measure text option should fix that. There is a 'fixed_width' setting you can use, but it's not very helpful if the text size changes (different title lengths).
