hey everyone,

i have a text scroller here (friendly to pixel fonts) that i want to modify, but i’m not sure the easiest way to go about it.

see the attached .fla -

now, i want to be able to click anywhere on the grey bar, and have the white scroll box follow to that point (with easing, if possible). right now, the only way to scroll, is to grab the white scroll box and drag it to a chosen position. i’d like to break up the grey bar into sections so that each section will correspond to a position of the scroller. in other words, click on bottom of scroll bar, the text scrolls to the bottom, click on top of scroll bar, text scrolls to the top.

i’ve look at the AS, but i’m not sure what to change. any help would be fantastic.

thanks a million!!

s.t.

Unexpected file format here.  
Are you on a mac? If so, zip the file.
