Continuous Scrolling Variables?...can someone tell me how?

programming flash

I have a text box that scrolls text up or down when I press the buttons to do so. In the Up button I have:

on (release) {
scrollabletext.scroll = scrollabletext.scroll-1;
}

So when people click the button it scrolls. BUT I WANT IT TO BE WHEN THE MOUSE ROLLS OVER THE BUTTON, IT CONTINUOUSLY SCROLLS AUTOMATICALLY.

Is there a variable like “release” that will allow me to continuously scroll?

Thanks so much!!!

Hmm, this should generally work:

on (rollOver) {
  this.onEnterFrame = function() { scrollabletext.scroll = scrollabletext.scroll-1; }
}
on (rollOut) {
  delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
