Hi guys,

How does one create a scroll buttons where onMouse Press makes the text move up/down and on releasing the mouse button it stops… I am currently using a script that allows me to scroll up/down only one line at a time…but i would like it to scroll continuously until i release the scroll up/down buttons…
