dwn.onRelease = function() {

here is the action script that i have used  
[AS]texto="Welcome to Pro Image Solutions, … yadda yadda yadda … a Virtual Consultant. ";

up.onRelease = function() {  
texto.scroll -= 11;  
};

dwn.onRelease = function() {  
texto.scroll += 11;  
};[/AS]

the script is used in a scrolling text clips on the main page and some of the other pages, which works just fine - but i keep getting the output erros with it. how come?
