well you could make an movieclip, and call it “control” for example and have 3 frames in it. give the last frame this action
```php
with(_parent){
// all your scrolling actions go here
}
gotoAndPlay(2);
```
and have this action on the button
```php
on (press) {
control.gotoAndPlay(3)
}
on (release) {
control.gotoAndStop(1)
}
```
i would like to arrange a little FLA or something but i just dont have the time to know(-:

Here’s a lil simple fla I made awhile back that scrolls a movieclip. Right now its scrolling some static text, but you can place whatever you want in the movie clip. Hope it helps. =)
