I followed the simple kirupa tutorial for creating a text scroller in Flash MX. But I want to modify it so I don’t have to click the down or up arrows just roll over them.

Any help Appreciated.

just make a mc and in that mc you put your scrollarrow as a button.

Actions button:

on (rollOver) {  
\_root.downp = true;  
}  
on (rollOut) {  
\_root.downp = false;  
}

then your movie clip:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (\_root.downp) {  
\_root.text.scroll ++  
}  
}

Use the same procedure for the other arrow
