I’ve successfully created a dynamic text box which displays an external text file, and scrolls via up and down buttons that I created.

The problem I’m having is that on one of the text boxes, it displays the text, but when I go to scroll, it only scrolls about 2 clicks then just stops scrolling, when there are about four more paragraphs that are not showing up. It just won’t scroll anymore.

And, the first scroll box that I have, it scrolls down with 4 or 5 clicks, and shows everything.

Any clue why the above mentioned scroll box would just stop scrolling when there is plenty more text to reveal.

Here’s the actionscript I have on the first frame on that frame…  
loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“exp.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
expbox.text = this.exptext;  
};

here’s the actionscript on the down button:  
on (press) {  
expbox.scroll +=1;  
}

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!
