flash (macromedia): Hello,
I want my text to scroll while the up or down button is being held. I can make
it move up or down however many lines i specify, but how can i make the text
scroll continuously without having to press the button(s) every time and/or can
i make a scrollbar that one could just drag up or down? Any help is greatly
appreciated! Thank you so much!

Hello NSurveyor! Thanks for replying! Yeah, i did try to use the UI component.
I have Flash MX 2004 Pro. The reason i didn't use the component was because i
couldnt get the CSS to take. The way i did it was using a text box with a .txt
file that loads in the text box. I programmed the buttons to move one line per
click, but can i have the text scroll while holding the up or down button
rather than having to click it each time? Thanks for the reply and i hope to
get another. Thanks again!!!

Well, Give your up button the instance name ub, and your down button the
intance name, db, and add this script to the frame that holds the up and down
buttons:
textbox = _root.myPath.toThe.textbox;
//Change textbox, to the correct path to the textbox.
ub.onPress = function(){
scrollUp = setInterval(scroll,50,textbox,-1)
}
ub.onRelease = function(){
clearInterval(scrollUp);
}
db.onPress = function(){
scrollDown = setInterval(scroll,50,textbox,1)
}
db.onRelease = function(){
clearInterval(scrollDown);
}
function scroll(textbox,direction){
textbox.scroll = textbox.scroll+direction;
updateAfterEvent();
}
