Rephrase question, how do you make it CLEAN.

I have the text "buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 ", scrolling but diagonal. I want it to loop, so it just has to move 1 "buzz44 " . The width and height are 100% the same, but when it scrolls diagonal it never lines up! Not if I do it manually moving down and across 1 pixel at a time, or if I tween, it always jitters or is out of place.

Scrolling horizontal is dead easy, but diagonal is a POS.

Anyone have a good tutorial or ideas?

ImageReady btw.

Scroll diagonal like


Moving from the top left to the bottom right.
Or... How?

I mean text is left to right like now, but rotated 45 degrees right, so it's on an angle.

Edit:

Like this... but the text is "buzz44 " over and over so I can loop it ^^.

Move it on the x and y at an even equation.
Like say if you move it to the right 4 pixels and down 2 pixels you will need to continue that pattern. Modifying it will make it come out awkward.
A 1:1 ratio would be best if its a square. 1:2 or 2:5 ratio could work out for more rectangular spaces.
Longer the tween the less glitchy it will be. Not sure of what size but between 12 and 36 frames should suffice in speed and quality unless its a larger area and small text.

I don't have IR but I can do it on CS4 and upload the PSD.
Should work just the same.

I tried that ><. It's 100% square and I move it down/across 1 pixel each frame and it doesn't line up! It slowly but surely moves out of line, that is when I do it manually, if I use the Tween function it'll stay in line but it will jitter all over the place because its trying to keep it in line -______-.

Can anyone else try it in Image Ready please O_o?

Is this what you are looking at doing? If yes I can upload the PSD for you to look at.

Yeah but it says "buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44 buzz44", so instead of just having 1 "buzz44 " move across the whole thing it only has to move from 1 to the next.

Understand that lol?

Yes, that is actually easier to do really.
Just copy the text layer and move it xy pixels and do that until its filled up. Add another outside the upper and lower edges of the image and just have it scroll until they overlap and then repeat.
I'll do this in ~ 3 min for ya, need to help someone with a few other things.
