Here’s an update on Jordan’s marquee using `system.gui.transform`. It’s simpler and doesn’t need as many objects or bindings. Just set the root container’s `time` property to the length of time in milliseconds for the message to cross the container. It should cope with different length of container or message.

Multiple messages is left as an exercise for the reader.
