In the identity inspector change the class from UIView to NewsTickerLabel.
Customize the parameters in the attributes inspector.
Connect the NewsTickerLabel object to your controller by creating an outlet.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var newsTickerLabel: NewsTickerLabel!
override func viewDidLoad() {

In the viewDidAppear() call the activate() method of your NewsTickerLabel object.
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
newsTickerLabel.activate()
}
