Why isn’t it scrolling on my index page.It works perfectly when I preview it in Flash HTML,but not when I upload the .swf to the web.
Here what I have.
up button
variable = legal.scroll
value = legal.scroll-1
checked the expression box
on (release) {
legal.scroll = legal.scroll-1;
}
down button
variable = legal.scroll
value = legal.scroll=legal.scroll+3
checked the expression box
on (release) {
legal.scroll = legal.scroll=legal.scroll+3;
}
I have no little a’s on the buttons on the time line.
I have one on the text field.
Dynamic
Multiline
Wordwrap
Selectable
Variable name is _legal_
As found in the MMFlash 5 AS Reference Guide that came with the program,page 87
Thanks in advance for the help.

Well,I got it to work in IE,but not in Opera 6.05.It just freezes in opera,stating the script runs too slow???
