i’m creating a dynamic textbox that load from external data.I 'm using this code to make it automatic scrolling

> 

articleData.load(“data.txt”);  
article.text=articleData.externalvariable  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“empty”, 1)  
empty.onEnterFrame=function(){  
article.scroll==article.maxscroll ?  
article.scroll=1 :  
article.scroll++;

}

but the scrolling is moving too fast !!! How i’m going to put a delay on it
