FLASH: scrolling text field

[Mark Sheppard]

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to get the text field back to the

"top" after scrolling?


At the moment I'm using continious feedback buttons and  have a variable

"clicks".

each time a button is clicked it adds or subtracts depending on direction.


When I load a new text file it should set it back to the top.

This works fine with a plain button, but after scrollin up and down a few

times with "cfb"s it is pretty unreliable.


On (Press, Drag Over, Drag Out)

                  Set Variable: "clicks" = clicks +1       (down button plus

other stuff)

            End On


On (Press, Drag Over, Drag Out)

                  Set Variable: "clicks" = clicks -1        (up button plus

other stuff)

            End On


On (Press)

      Load Variables ("news"&whichNews&".txt", 1)

End On

On (Release)

            Set Variable: "content.scroll" = content.scroll -clicks

End On


Thanks in advance!
