Without any actions the only alternative is to put the text in a Movieclip and make a Tween between two frames.

hell -

pellepiano is right, the best way to do this without using this without actions is to tween it. if you want the text to only be visible on a certain portion of your movie, simply apply a mask to the text.

one drawback with large scrolling blocks of text, though, is that they can really eat up processor power on the users computer. the best way to avoid this is to create the text with a transparent background in a program such as fireworks of photoshop.

good luck!

Put it all in a movieclip . Add two buttons inside there to (code below). Then you can copy the movieclip in the library so you have five of them. Then you can just use one on each of the first 5 frames in your file.

Code on buttons

//Ex
on(release){
stop();
}

on(release){
play();
}

Selcet all frames.
Edit>Copy Frames
Make a empty movieclip
Paste the frames inside the movieclip
Edit>Paste Frames
Add the buttons with the code in prev post (inside movieclip).

Erase the animation on the main timeline ( original tween).

Drag the movieclip from the library to the stage.

///Next Stage

Duplicate the movieclip in the library 5 times ( now you can have separate texts in each movieclip).
