Please bear with me: English 2nd language :sigh: …

I have three mc’s with dynamic text fields that i load external data into.  
Everything works great and loads just fine.

Then there are 2 buttons (up and down), up reads:

up\_btn.onPress = function() {  
onEnterFrame = function () {  
whatever.scroll -= 1;  
};  
};  
up\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
onEnterFrame = null;  
};

… and the down the other way. All fine, all great, all scrolling …

Depending on which text i want to display, i use \_visible=true or \_visible=false  
for my mc’s … and here is the problem.

If i have visited a section already and left the text at the bottom (scrolled all  
the way down), when i return, the text will be all the way down ( duuh, of course!!!).

… So is there a way of saying “text=0”, “text all the way up” or sth. in that nature if  
i load text some place and just make it visible in another??? :h: :huh:

thanx for any suggestions
