Hi there…

I am not really sure if I understand yur question, but if u r asking on how to make the text move without having the user see a scrollbar, then u can simply make a scroll bar, make it the same color as the background color (making it invisible to the user) and make it large enough across the movie so that when the user moves around the top of the movie, the text goes up, and respectively at the bottom, it goes back down…

… if u r confused, then plz give more detail on the questions…

good luck…

hi!  
no, it’s not that exactly… the thing is when the user put the mouse on the top or bottom of the text box, it goes down or up and the user doesn’t need to click.  
this thing i wanna make it’s possible using actionscript but i have almost no idea about programmation!  
did you have a look at the example i mencioned? if you do so, i think you’ll see what i mean.  
thanks for helping!

well you’ll probably have to use a mouse listener which will be a scroll function whether the mouse is above or underneath the text.

What I would do is:  
make my text a movie clip masked above and under (so it appears as a text box

and do something like that  
check the \_y value of the mouse  
if the \_y value of mouse is smaller then the middle of the movieclip, then change the movieclip \_y position to something smaller - and do the opposite if the mouse is below the center of the text…

ill try to post a fla if i have time
