Scrolling dynamic text (not external)

1

Does anybody know how I can scroll text in a dynamic text box. I have created an input box for users to type answers and this is scrollable. I have also created another box to display the answer from the input box (so the users can print their answers) but I cannot make this scrollable. Is this an impossibility? Any help will be apreciated.

Is that similar to what you want?

Make an up arrow button! code=

on (release) {
	currentScroll = myText.scroll;
	if (Number(currentScroll)>1) {
		myText.scroll = currentScroll-1;
	}
}

Down arrow button code:

on (release) {
	currentScroll = myText.scroll;
	if (Number(currentScroll)<Number(myText.maxscroll)) {
		myText.scroll = Number(currentScroll)+1;
	}
}

(change myText to the intant name of your txt box!)

Hope that’s what you’re after!?

I’ll try this out and let you know how I get on. It looks about what want and even better because I can make the scrollbars invisible. Thanks

Will this work with a scrollbar component? If so where would I put the code?
