Hello,

I have the following script on a button:  
[AS]  
on (press, release, keyPress “\<Down\>”) {  
currentScroll = newsBox.scroll;  
if (Number(currentScroll)\<Number(newsBox.maxscroll)) {  
newsBox.scroll = Number(currentScroll)+1;  
}  
}  
[/AS]

Which quite obviously causes the text box to scroll. How can I make so if you press and hold it continues to scroll? As it stands you have to click click click to make it scroll further.

And on a side note, how would I make it scroll when you rollover (and continue to scroll as long as your mouse is over it)
