Continuious scrolling text

1

I am loading a text file into a textfield. No problems just wanna tweak it a little bit. The way it is now, the user must continiously click the arrows to scroll. I want it to be where they just click once, and if they hold down the mouse, the textfiled continues to scroll.

here is mode code:
[AS]
on(press){
updates.scroll = updates.scroll-1 ;
}
[/AS]

Hope someone can figure this out, even if it involves changing my code completely.

Thanks Always

yeah its possible to do it with a text file. Just a simple loadVariables() the buttons don’t affect the text other than the scrolling. :slight_smile:
