[color=black][font=Arial]Hi all,[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial] [/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]I have, what i think, is probably quite an easy question for some and was hoping someone within this very nice community could help me…[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial] [/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]I am using startdrag to move 2 elements, a scrollbar and some text inside a separate internal movie clip… [/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial] [/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]I would like to increase the ration that the scrollbar has to move for the amount of text it scrolls through and i am having problems even knowing where to begin (shameful :/)[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]

```auto
[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]Y = getProperty('_parent.scrollerMC/buttonMC',_y);[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]newY = oldY + (Y - oldY)/5;[/font][/color]
[color=black][font=Arial][/font][/color] 
[color=black][font=Arial]setproperty('_parent.scrolledMCrecipient/scrolledMC',_y,newY);[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]oldY = newY;[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]

```

[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]Any help is gratefully appreciated and if needed i can return favours =][/font][/color]
