my simple question is: is there a way to scroll text in a textbox using images as the up/down buttons? rather than the ordinary scrollbar?

are there any tutorials on this?

an example would be if you would enter this site: [http://www.14east.com/main.htm](http://www.14east.com/main.htm) \> click on “about the company” \> and on the box titled “\> specializing in” with the arrows

any help would be appreciated, thanks.

well you showed an example doing it so Ill say yes.

actually its the easiest type of scrolling

on(press){  
myTextField.scroll–;  
}

on(press){  
myTextField.scroll++;  
}
