Nice Movie Cast (Text Scroller)

Introduction

I've always admired the way movies end, especially when they put a good music that could make up for the stupid movie and lets me forget the bitterness of thinking about the time I wasted watching this movie!!

Well, hopefully I'm making a good movie cast now, but hey, I ain't making up nothing!!

Explanation

Three main events were declared on the form level for this cast:

Load: To load the music and start off the scrolling process
MouseEnter: To pause the scrolling
MouseLeave: To resume scrolling

For the two mouse events, I've attached two timers to be triggered.

Oh, just two ordinary timers to scroll/pause the cast text.

tmrScroller would control the text movement and determine it has reached an end and if so, it's dead!! That is using the kill_Scroller method.
tmrPause to show the blinking pause sign at the bottom.

Notice that real pausing was already carried out in the MouseEnter event that in turn launched the tmrPause.

Well, I think that's it for the explanation. Let's go and take a peek at the code.
