I made a dynamic text field (called theText) that loads in html.

I hooked it up with to self made buttons  
and gave the buttons the following actionscript

on(press) {  
theText.scroll += -1;  
}

This works perfect but i want the scroller to work different.  
Now i have to click to scroll i want to hold in the button to make it scroll.  
Can someone help me with a tip.

Thanks in advance
