[Share Code] ui.TableView as a banner or something like that

[Phuket2]

The below is not mind blowing. But just a different way to think if you have not thought of it already. The basic idea is to use the table view as a series or an array of views. As ui.TableView subclasses ui.ScrollView (i think that's the right way to say it) you have access to the ui.ScrollView also. Anyway, it's still interesting what you can do. I purposely didn't make a lot of generic loops, so anyone interested could test their own way.

import ui, console

'''
        A long winded example of using a ui.TableView as a banner
        rather than use generic loops, kept it open for trial and error

        there are easier ways to do this. but in some cases in can see this
        also a convient way.

        you can also manually scroll the list of course, also could be
        another type of controller for the content part of the view

Hmmm, well should have done
tv.bounces = False
Also should have also implemented def layout(self) for MyClass.
I am sure many other things also
But was just more to give an idea. No one said anything , I just thought I should have been more clear.
