can someone help me please…
I am trying to make a movie clip (550 x 1500) scroll up and down on a stage that is 550 x 400.
I am asking for one of you ‘flash Gods’ to see me through this… all though, there is currently no reward : (
I have:
1: the MC of text to be scrolled (550 x 1500)
2: up button
3: down button
…anyone know the code? (flash 5)
Thanks a bunch,
/sean m.

i’ve read the post a little further down in the forum (regarding scrolls with dynamic text), but i’m interested in scrolling a movie clip.
thanks,

hi sean,
well i could give you a solution,
is your text to move when you press a button? if so loook here:
add this to the frame your working on:
speed = 5;
//or whatever number
add this to up button:
on(press){
txt.\_y-=speed
}
add this to the down button:
on(press){
txt.\_y+=speed
}
and make the texts instence name txt.
if you have any problems PM me. 🙂
