With the star being a vector shape, you activate the text tool, then you click EXACTLY on the stroke (outline) of the star when the cursor shows a T angled on a curve, then you type your text.... it will follow the star, like that.

Here is a video explaining it in details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcFzS2P9p-U

The image is an animated gif. Jasc Animation shop allowed for animated gifs but is an old program. There are probably much bettter programs for achieving this effect. Do a search for animated text gifs for a start.

hartpaul is right, I didn't realize the question was about the text scrolling.
