RE: FLASH: Auto Window Scrolling

[Dennis Miller]

Chad, Thanks for the input.


Since I posted the request, I stumbled across a Javascript scroll gimmick

that I placed on the page.  Its sort of a band-aid.  It is a constant speed

scroller that has its own problems.  What I would really like to find is a way

from within the movie to call a javascript function to reposition the display

relative to the current line of the movie.  I think that should not be 

difficult

from the movie if I could find the javascript to do the responsive scroll to

position.
