I want to know how to keep scrolling a movieclip when you press a button.  
Now, you have to click and click and click, instead of just holding down your mousebutton.

This is my script:  
on (press) {  
setProperty("\_root.main.Scroll.Inhoud", \_y, getProperty("\_root.main.Scroll.Inhoud", \_y)+10);  
}

I can’t get a loop above the “on(press)…”  
How can I loop this peace of script?

Or is there a more effective script?

THanx!

hey **hihabyte** =)

if you are using mx … i think the easier way would be [dynamic event handlers](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/tricks/dynamicevent.asp) 🙂

```auto
myButton.onPress = function() {
	_root.main.Scroll.Inhoud.onEnterFrame = function() {
		_y += 10;
	}
}
myButton.onRelease = myButton.onReleaseOutside = function() {
	delete _root.main.Scroll.Inhoud.onEnterFrame;
}

```

by the way, welcome to kiruaville! 😉

And to what should I assign this script?  
Because, if I assign it to the button, he always puts “On release” in front of it…  
Help me, I’m feeling very stupid now ;(

eager to learn…

Thanx!

the script i posted should be in the timeline, being _myButton_ the instance name of your button 😉

YeS!!! It works, at last!! Thank you very much for helping me with this peace of script, Kax!!

But I said I was eager to learn…so I would also like to understand this script completely.  
I think I do, except for the OnEnterFrame part.  
What does it do exactly? I don’t really understand the explanation in the Flash reference… so could you try to explain?

Thanx!! (again =) )

no problem 😉 =)

and well, the _onEnterFrame_ handler basically executes the statement(s) at the frame rate of the movie.

so if the fps of your movie is at 24, the statements within the _onEnterFrame_ handler would be executed 24 times per second.

😛 =)
