I'm trying to create scrolling text and images in a flash movie. My problem is
that the last image has to finish scrolling all the way across until the area
is completely blank until it starts again. I'm trying to figure out how to
make the transition seamless so you don't have the are scroll until it's
completely blank before it starts again.

I've tried to search for scrolling text and images but I keep getting results
that talk about having a scroll bar there for the visitor to scroll the text
themselves. I need the text to scroll automatically.

I hope this makes sense. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm not completely sure what your saying..

>From what I gather, are you saying you have trouble because your
background image don't blend well with the color of your text?

I'd love to help..

If you just want the image to "duplicate" its self, its fairly easy. In your
movie clip make your first and last slides exactly the same text / image. Now
place a few motion tweens to animate your text scrolling. You will need to work
place a "copy" of your text / image below the stage of the movie clip and as
you animate the original text / image animate the copy moving the same
distance.
After you animat a full circle of motion you want. create the last tween.
Insert a keyframe right before your last frame, and recreate the tween. Then
delete your final frame. (this creates a seemless scroll. as your last frame is
one frame before your first, so when the movie clip loops you go from your last
frame to the first frame which is the next step in the animation.

Its a bit confusing but if you work with the concept will work for you.
