Hello everyone.

First post here 🙂

I’m having a hard time figuring out this…  
I have loads of text in a dynamic-textfield (multiline), and I ahve two buttons for it Up/down), and I want the text to continously scroll whenever the user rollOver oneo f the buttons, and stop scrolling on rollOut.

I talked with some guys who suggested that I used setInterval and stuff, but I have absolutely no idea whatsoever on how I should do this.

Anyone have any thoughts on how I should do this?

Thanks in advance.
