## i am having problems with the scroller. I have autoscroller that automatically shifts everything down one when it reaches the bottom of the dynamic text field. but i am trying to also have one up and down button so that i can go up and down at will. but i cant seem to get thsi to work right… is the autoscroller conflicting?? heres the code for the dynamic box named console i need to 2 buttons one up and one down to work…
onClipEvent (load) {
// prototype
TextField.prototype.autoScroll = function(ms) {
aScroll = function(field) {
field.scroll == field.maxscroll ? field.scroll : field.scroll++;
};
this.field = this;
this.interval = setInterval(aScroll, ms, this.field);
};
// usage
Console.autoScroll(100);
## stop(); } onClipEvent(load) { Console.text=“Welcome”; Console.text+=" test… “; } on (keyPress “\”) { Console.text+=\_parent.Input.text; Console.text+=” “; \_parent.Input.text=”"; }
Thanks a bunch…

Yeah, it might be conflicting…
[AS]TextField.prototype.autoScroll = function(interval) {
this.$scroller = function() {
this.scroll != this.maxscroll ? this.scroll++ : this.scroll=0;
updateAfterEvent();
};
this.$interval = setInterval(this, “$scroller”, interval);
};
TextField.prototype.stopScroll = function() {
if (this.$interval) clearInterval(this.$interval), delete this.$interval;
if (this.$scroller) delete this.$scroller;
};
//
myTextField.autoScroll(interval);
myTextField.stopScroll();[/AS]
OK… added a stopScroll method. Whenever you want to scroll the TextField with your buttons, you call the method. 🙂

I do know what you mean… I wrote the autoScroll code you’re using. 😛
Anyway, I’ll check your FLA. 😉

i edited it a bit though i took the line
“field.scroll == field.maxscroll ? field.scroll = 0: field.scroll++;”
and changed it to:
“field.scroll == field.maxscroll ? field.scroll : field.scroll++;”
b/c before it would keep goin continously i wanted to only scroll down if the user input more text than the dynamic text field could display that code segment enabled it to do that…

The thing is, you don’t actually need that autoScroll code… 😛
[AS]onClipEvent (load) {
Console.text = “Welcome”;
Console.text += "
test… ";
}
on (keyPress “\”) {
Console.text += “\r”+\_parent.Input.text;
Console.scroll = Console.maxscroll;
\_parent.Input.text = “”;
}[/AS]
That would do.

If you want to scroll the TextField continuosly while the Button is pressed, check the link Freddy posted. 😉
Otherwise…
[AS]// scroll up
on (release, keyPress “\”) {
login1.console.scroll–;
}
// scroll down
on (release, keyPress “\”) {
login1.console.scroll++;
}[/AS]
If I remember correctly, you had several events for you Buttons, I didn’t write them in the code above because I don’t remember which handlers you were using, not because you shouldn’t use them. 😉
