Please help newbee with scrolling text :(

You’re getting that “left side blah blah blah” error because you can’t change a variable on the left side of the equals sign.

Try changing:

on (press) {
     angelasecondtry.scroll-1=1;
}

To:

on (press) {
     angelasecondtry.scroll += 1;
}

OR:

on (press) {
     angelasecondtry.scroll -= 1;
}

The above is/are the shorthand version of:

on (press) {
     angelasecondtry.scroll = angelasecondtry.scroll + 1;
}

You could even do:

on (press) {
     angelasecondtry.scroll++;
}

OR:

on (press) {
     angelasecondtry.scroll--;
}

That should work for ya (assuming everything else is in order or course). Just remember – you can not ever (in Flash) assign/change any properties of a variable on the left side of the equals sign. :wink:
