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!!!

Hmmmmm…I appreciate the help, but I am a beginner… ☹ Is there an easier way? Or do I have to create a movie and add allllll that code in?

Hmm, this should generally work:
```auto
on (rollOver) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() { scrollabletext.scroll = scrollabletext.scroll-1; }
}
on (rollOut) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
```
