put your up\_btn in, pull your up\_btn out, put your up\_btn in, then you shake it all about…

…and that’s what it’s all about.

i need help. really. I have up and down buttons. I have a dynamic text field with “scrollable” checked. I need the actionscript to make the buttons do their thing with the text.

let’s say I have a dynamic text instance name of textytext\_txt  
let’s say I have button intances of uppers\_btn and downers\_btn  
what do I put where?

i have tried this two ways and niether of them are any good. One: trying to apply actionscript directly to the button. Two: applying actionscript to an actions layer.

i’d prefer to do this in the actions layer and let the buttons just do their thing without adding any script to them. possible?

also, can someone describe what the following are and how they are applied? 1. Statement 2. on handler 3. vaseline :h:

hay thanks if y’all can help out a noob.
