The StockTicker component can be customized through the use of properties, methods, and styles. Attributes of the StockTicker component that be can modified are the scroll speed, direction, quote symbols and font properties. Changing the the font and text format can be done through the standard flash styles mechanism or throught the short-cut properties in the Property Inspector.
You can set style properties to change the appearance of a StockTicker instance. Currently, the only styles supported are related to text format and control color. Changing the text format styles affect all of the text in the ticker's display- however the color of positive and negative change info is always green and red if the showChangeColors property is true. This can be changed with the changeFormat property. Also, by setting the quoteDisplay property, it is possible to supply a movie clip that acts as a template for displaying text for different stock quote information. (See quoteDisplay for more info).
