Hi guys,

I’ve got a dynamic text box in my Flash movie which loads a text file and it all works fine.

What I want to do is scroll the text so I’ve made the up and down buttons, placed them on the stage with the scrollbar (which I DON’T want to adjust to the amount of text in the .txt) so now all I need to do is add the actions (I belive!).

I only have one frame to play with so I’d be grateful if you could please help me with the actionscript, even if it is just for the up/down buttons.

Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

Take care,

Mark
