Hi all!

Can anyone tell me why everything works when moving the scroll bar but as soon as I write in the script for the scrolling the text, it does NOT work? Here is the action. i have highlighted what is NOT working. Thanks so much 🙂

var scrollUpper:Number = 26.9;  
var scrollLower:Number = 205.4;  
var textLower:Number = -242.2  
var textUpper:Number = 725.3;  
var scrollRange:Number = scrollLower - scrollUpper;  
var scrollText:Number = textLower - textUpper;  
function scroll () {  
var moved:Number = scroller\_mc.\_y - scrollUpper;  
var pctMoved:Number = moved/scrollRange;  
var textMove:Number = pctMoved\*textRange;  
text\_mc.\_y = textLower - textMove;  
}  
scroller\_mc.onPress = function() {  
this.startDrag(false,this.\_x,scrollUpper,this.\_x,scrollLower);  
**this.onMouseMove = scroll;**  
}  
scroller\_mc.onRelease = scroller\_mc.onReleaseOutside = function() {  
this.stopDrag();  
\*\*this.onMouseMove = null;  
\*\*}
