I am moving a control accross a form - to form a scrolling text label. But
I notice that is flickering. Is there anyway to prevent flickering ?

Not with a label. Any text drawing will require that the background is
erased and then drawn. You need to find a way to draw the text to a buffer
and then copy that buffer to your form. You could do this with a bidden
picturebox and the bitblt api.
