Yeah similiar to that but thats not what im looking for…

i just wanna know how to make a small scroller… with lets say a list of information in it and you just scroll up and down…

```
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;ATTENTION&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;

```

If no one wants to explain it, can u atleast please show me a tutorial (not a complex one) on how to make a scroller menu?

thanks heaps,

Y position. To make a MC movie up or down you have to change the \_y value. so make a button that says

on(press){  
\_root.movieClipName.\_y += 10  
}

that will make the movieclip move down 10

have another one that reverses that

on(press){  
\_root.movieClipName.\_y -= 10  
}

to move it back up.

Hey Chubba,  
Tell me what you honestly think about this site me and my brother did for this company in sydney. I did all the flash work on it. The site isn’t completely finished yet!

[www.techfusion.com.au/blue](http://www.techfusion.com.au/blue)

This is my first ever work that has been displayed on the internet. Im still trying to figure out how to put a preloader on my flash work on this site.

thanks,  
Jak…

They are just buttons contained within a movieclip. and masked, and then the arrows change the \_y value of the movieClip.

I am studying to be an archaeologist. hopefully i will be able to incorporate some Flash into it. 🙂

Ahh i see Chubba,  
I got it moving up and down, but im have trouble masking it. You see it does mask but the entire background disappears as well so its just the text that appears. Where i would like to background to be there as well so the text is within the clip… get me?

How do i make it so when the text gets to the far buttom it stops so it doesn’t keep going out of the clip?

```auto
on(press){
if(_root.movieclip-_y &lt;= 150){
_root.movieclip-_y += 10
}
}

and the other button would be

on(press){
if(_root.movieclip-_y &gt;= 10){
_root.movieclip-_y -= 10
}
}

As far as the background, play around with the mask. The background should be in the MC clip that way it should get masked too.
```

Hey Jubba… have you been to some of the Upuaut sites around? There is at least one that has a very cool three dimensional pyramid with animated cutaways. I’ll see if I can find the link to it.

There are a number of ways of doing that menu. Horizontal positioning is done by manipulating the \_x property of an object.

a movie clip may have a/s attached to the outside of and commonly a onClipEvent(enterFrame){} is used on the outside of movie clips to do motion.

onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
\_x

Ahh… this freakin spell check cut half my post away… and I forgot to hit copy… Grrrr…

I had a really good discription made up. I’ll redo it and then post it. There are a couple people asking about this stuff now.

no I haven’t, but if you could find me a link that would be awesome. I am really interested in both fields and if I could get into Archaeology and us my Flash knowledge to create a site to display my work that would be awesome. I actually have been thinking about that since the first day I picked up Flash. Well, I still have 8 or 9 years of school to contend with.
