Im looking for an example of 'scrolling' text to show a client but I cant find anything...
I will try to explain...
So image a horizontal cylinder with horizontal text on it. The cylinder spins and the first bit of text essentially hides itself as it rolls to the back and the new text reveals itself from the top...
Does this make sense?

Maybe its easier to do in AE and export? Just an idea but I cant find anything

You're looking for a 3D-script-driven effect. It's a pain in the ass to make in Flash, so it'd probably be pretty difficult to find an example that uses text. Might be able to find some examples that use images on activeden.net

Its for a banner ad and to be resized. Final thing needs to be less than 40k... Ive been on Flashden etc all morning and cant find shit :(

If it's for a banner ad, you can do it with this (see link). Comes in AS2 and AS3 and is really low in file size. For your effect, you're going to want to set the Z-depth back some to get the cylinder effect (It's 2.5D but by setting the Z-depth back you can make it look cylindrical). Setting Z-Depth, this may be through code or by adjusting the text's registration point within the movieclip, can't remember. Easy to implement and documented though.

Personally, I would just fake it with the timeline and the 3D transform tool (if you can fit the extra 13k in from using the tool). Add a perspective transform as it's moving from the center (flat 2d) and moving down the pseudo-cylinder map. If you can't fir the 3D transform tool's file size in, then a bit of vertical blur and scale within a mask might d the trick.
You can also do this effect with Displacement Maps. Perhaps try searching using those keywords.

The term in Flash is called "tweening" not scrolling.
Theres plenty out there for 3D tweening, I guess you're just not searching for the correct term.

Maybe you can tweak this.

onEnterFrame or setInterval?

Try Papervision3D with Greensock tweening classes.

I think you will have to do it the old fashioned way. Draw the animation and use the timeline. No way to get 3d stuff in a standard ad. Unless it is polite load rich media.
