Hello,

I’m doing an interactive flash ad. The functionality is like this:  
[LIST]  
[_]The ad should animate through panels of survey templates and their interval is set to 5 secs each.  
[_]I have used one of the famous scroller script here because it is needed by the ad.  
[_]The interval of 5 secs should stop while user interacts with the scrolling survey panels. one the user is done interacting, it should run the next panel in 2 secs.  
[/LIST]I was able to achieve the above. The problem happens when:  
[LIST]  
[_]I try to use the button to scroll,  
[\*]I double click on any place in the ad  
[/LIST]Im not sure what is happening. See below the Script I used. Any help will greatly be appreciated:

```auto
var scrollHeight:Number = scroller1.scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = scroller1.contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scroller1.scrollFace._height;
var maskHeight:Number = scroller1.maskedView._height;
var initPosition:Number = scroller1.scrollFace._y=scroller1.scrollTrack._y;
var initContentPos:Number = scroller1.contentMain._y;
var finalContentPos:Number = maskHeight-contentHeight+initContentPos;
var left:Number = scroller1.scrollTrack._x;
var top:Number = scroller1.scrollTrack._y;
var right:Number = scroller1.scrollTrack._x;
var bottom:Number = scroller1.scrollTrack._height-scrollFaceHeight+scroller1.scrollTrack._y;
var dy:Number = 0;
var speed:Number = 10;
var moveVal:Number = (contentHeight-maskHeight)/(scrollHeight-scrollFaceHeight);
var intervalId:Number;
