scrolling text not working

any errors in the console of your browser? any event log errors? got to give us more than it's not working :)

no errors at all i simple added the scroll text web part with a transformation and location to my marquees list and i get nothing

If you get no display, then you probably have the web part miss-configured.

Do you have the right Path, Class Name, is there any where conditions that may be filtering out pages, are the pages published?

Do this, set "Hide Control for Zero Rows" to FALSE (unchecked) and put "Test" in the Zero Rows Text, reload the page and if you see "Test" it means you have it misconfigured and it's not finding any items to display.

I'd suggest NOT using the OOTB webpart and use your own javascript/jquery plugin for this. I believe the OOTB webpart has dependencies on built-in jquery libraries and could cause problems with your other javascript libraries.

As Trevor suggests, make sure you have the properties set so you're actually receiving data back as well:

• Path
• Page type(s)
• Transformation
