Scrolling text as About.frm uses
lazarus / 70-OpenGL

Hello everybody,

since lazarus has an about form which has code to display a scrolling
text, I decided to use that in my application.
Atm, I have a simple form with some image object and the scrolling
text object. The image objects are removed and added at certain
intervals but whenever a new image is 'being loaded', the scrolling
text hangs for a few ticks so there goes the smoothness.

Is there a way to make it smooth even though it is loading an image?

Thanks in advance!

PS: actually, multiple threads are changing the images as each has
their his own timings. I add an TImage component to the main form and
then I put ones visibility to false so the other one is visible. Every
time it changes, the scrolling text hangs.

EDIT: posted in the wrong subforum. If someone can move it, please do
so. My apologizes.
