I am trying to create scrollable text that scrolls up/down automatically (meaning without having to continously click on the button) when either the user mouses over or clicks on the button. Currently I am using the action script:

on(release)  
{  
scrolltext.scroll -=1;  
}

Any suggestions?

hmmz I’m not sure what you want to get.

1. a scrollable text that scrolls (if necessary) when you rollover a button (or two) without having to “click” your mouse. So rollover instead of release.

2. a scrollable text that works like the \<marquee direction=“up”\> your text \</marquee\> code in html.

Because I don’t get your on(release)…
