1) {
scrollableText.scroll = currentScroll-1;
}
}
};[/AS]
(in this case replace scrollableText with your instance name “newsBox”)
Now go to your buttons and add this script to the “scrolling down” button. For the scrolling up button, just change the function name to “goUp”
[AS]
on (press) {
button1 = "on"
this.onEnterFrame=goDown;
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
button1 = “off”
}
[/AS]
that’s about it. If you want the buttons to do that when you hover over them, just change the button scripts to this i guess
[AS]
on (rollOver) {
button1 = “on”;
this.onEnterFrame = goDown;
}
on (rollOut) {
button1 = “off”;
}
[/AS]
Hope i was of some help

this works also and with a few little tweaks the scroll speed could be controlled by the user
[AS]
//place this in the first frame of the movie
function scrollit(direction){
scrollableText.scroll += direction;
if(scrollableText.scroll\>scrollableText.maxScroll){
scrollableText.scroll = scrollableText.maxScroll;
} else if(scrollableText.scroll\<1){
scrollableText.scroll = 1;
}
}
//place this on the scroll buttons
on(press){
scroller = setInterval(\_root.scrollit,100,1);//if you replace 1 with -1 it will go up
}
on(release, releaseOutside){
clearInterval(scroller);
}
[/AS]
If you replace the 100 with a variable the speed could be dynamically changed by the user if you think that might be a usable feature
Hope that helps, if not, I just killed about 3 mins and thats good too. 🙂
Good Luck,
Shawn
