Hi!  
I am trying to make a textscroll with two arrows that will control the scrolling. However it doesn’t work out that well. After a while of pressing on the arrows the scroll tilts. It just won’t work well anymore. How can this be solved, what am I doing wrong?

You can watch the textscroll via this page:  
[http://www.redpoint.se/textscroll](http://www.redpoint.se/textscroll)

And you can download the FLA file via this link:  
[http://www.redpoint.se/textscroll/fla/scroll\_txt2.fla](http://www.redpoint.se/textscroll/fla/scroll_txt2.fla)

Or by the attachment!

This is how the actionscript looks like:

Up arrow:

```auto
on(press)
{
upint=setInterval(scrup,100);
}
 
on(release)
{
clearInterval(upint);
}

```

Down arrow:

```auto
on(press)
{
downint=setInterval(scrdown,100);
}
 
on(release)
{
clearInterval(downint);
}

```

Code in a frame above the scene:

```auto
function scrup()
{
txtbox.scroll=txtbox.scroll-1;
}
 
function scrdown()
{
txtbox.scroll=txtbox.scroll+1;
}

```

Please help me out on this one!

Best regards  
JoakimN

Well, it doesn’t work for me after a short while of testing… I guess there is something wrong with the code…
