Need help on scrolling text problem in mx 2004

Hi all, i am new here, well, i registered some time ago, but never posted, but now i am getting into flash mx 2004 and i am loving it, but i need some help!

I used this excellent tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/cssfile.htm

but since mx2004 doesn’t have the scrollbar component i dont know how to scroll text. :*(

I have tried this:

made a scroll up button, with these actions:
on(release) {
output.scroll -=1
}

made a scroll down button, with these actions:
on(release) {
output.scroll +=1
}

but that doesn’t work.
Could someone please help me out!
you would be the :pope: !
