Getting text to scroll across the screen

I'm writing a program that makes text scroll to the left across the screen. The strategy I'm using is a while statement that on every execution will move my GLabel across the screen a little bit.

1) What method or statements should I use inside the body of the while statement to get the x coordinate of the GLabel and move it to the left?

2) Is a while statement even the best strategy to get this program to work?
