I found this code on the web - hope it helps
*I Created a container view.
messageView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(27, 0, 235,
19)];
[messageView setClipsToBounds:YES];//With This you prevent the
animation to be drawn outside the bounds.
*Then I created a UILabel with the text to be displayed and added to
my container view
lblTime = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 235, 19)];
[lblTime setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[messageView addSubview:lblTime];
*Finally I created a function like this:
(void)sendNotificationNSString*)txt{
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:3.5];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionNo ne
forView:messageView cache:YES];
[lblTime setText:txt];
[lblTime setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentLeft];
lblTime.frame = CGRectMake(260, 0, 258, 19);
[UIView commitAnimations];
