You can place a div inside the table that makes up that graphic.

My example here that uses imags, but can be replaced with text:

Trents example here - probably easier to understand :-)

Can't offer any more help unless you provide a url.

With the dreamweaverresources link., do a view source, copy all the code
into a new DW document and have a play around with it.

Use the following script and paste into the page where you want the scroller
appear.

<center>

<table border="8" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="50%">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><applet code="TextScroller.class"
align="middle" width="544" height="200"><param
name="TextURL" value="scripts/Lovedawoman.txt"><param
name="ImageURL" value="Images/cloudsBack.jpg"><param name="Font"
value="Ariel"><param name="Size" value="16"><param
name="Bold" value="1"><param name="Italic" value="1"><param
name="FadeText" value="0"><param name="Colour"
value="000080"><param name="Speed" value="230"></applet> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>


You will need a TextScroller.class file in your to be placed in the root
folder for the webpage. The text is generated by using a txt file. You can
also adjust other parameters such as table size and background within the table.

Hope this helps
