import net.rim.device.api.system.Display;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.Field;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.Font;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.Graphics;

public class Ticker extends Field {

    String text;
    final int screenWidth = Display.getWidth();
    int offset = screenWidth;
    Timer timer = new Timer();
    final int delay = 30;

    public void setText(String text) {
        this.text = text;

        final int width = Font.getDefault().getAdvance(text);
        TimerTask timerTask = new TimerTask() {
            public void run() {
                offset--;
                if (offset + width == 0) {
                    offset = screenWidth;
                }
                invalidate();
