Hello. I have a basic scroller that has these actions on a button:
on (press, release, keyPress “\”) {
currentScroll = scrollableText.scroll;
if (Number(currentScroll)\>1) {
scrollableText.scroll = currentScroll-1;
}
}
What I need is to scroll while my button is pressed down. With the current actions i have to click the button many times to enter the bottom of my text. I cant just hold it down. Somebody got some juice codes to give a poor bastard??:pirate:

hmm…not sure if this would work or not, but try this:
```php
on (press){
currentScroll = scrollableText.scroll;
if (Number(currentScroll)>1) {
scrollableText.scroll = currentScroll-1;
}
}
```
