Warning: opinion coming up.
Forms is a tool to create modules that people use in their everyday work. The main purpose of such a module is that those people can do their work in a decent way. They should not be distracted by marquee-text (scrolling text like you mean), animated gifs, flash animations and all other fancy stuff.
You should ask yourself why you want to add such things to a (professional) form. Maybe the answer is that you really need it, but I never ever saw the need for such things.

Hi,
Usage of timers is not advisable. It will consume lots of memory resources. Earlier we had some performance issues and we had removed all the timer related code from our application.
Bye,
G.S

Scrolling data... hummm... I don't know of any way to make text continually scroll in a text field. Maybe you should investigate using a Java bean or some other external object to link into your form.
Are you just trying to make a special indicator of this field based on it's value?
If so, you could try changing the foreground and background colors, font, font style (blink) ... look at the built-in SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY with property set to BORDER_BEVEL and VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE.
Good luck,
Dano
