Hey guys, can anyone give me links to any good tutorials on how to create Scrolling Graphics with CUSTOM Up/Down buttons?

I can hardly find anything through a Google search or tutorials on this site. I’ve managed to create a scrolling Dynamic Text Field but haven’t figured out how to do the same thing with a Graphic MC.

Also, any tips on adding “EASING” to scroll-code would be very much appreciated aswell.

Cheers.

Ok, so I’ve followed this tutorial [here](http://flash-creations.com/notes/control_buttonscroll.php) step-by-step with no luck. I’ve even changed all the “\_parent” text to “\_root” text in the code but even that hasn’t worked.

Could anyone please have a look at the file and tell me what I’m doing wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Dallas. 🙂

Thanks for the suggestion toto…I’ll definatley keep that in mind when I have a bit more time and concentration up my sleeve. 9 pages…it’s a bit more than I’m ready for right now.

No what I wanted is just an easy tutorial on how to create down/up arrows (not a complete scrollbar) that controls the movement of an MC (containing graphics or text) within a Mask. The tutorials I’ve found either don’t work or are overly complicated.

Heres the link to the file if anyone wants to have a look: **[DOWNLOAD FILE HERE]([https://rcpt.yousendit.com/587436682/f3ce9e2f146dd](https://rcpt.yousendit.com/587436682/f3ce9e2f146dd) 9e8602d9081f557d1c7)**

Help. Anyone. Please. 🙂
