Check pg 201 of the manual. Yes, Flash automatically knows about

scroll--it's a property of the text field, along with maxscroll, and

they're very handy!  Here's an example from something I put together

yesterday of a 2-frame loop that makes a button (up-button) continuously

scroll a textfield (named answer) up on mouseover:


Frame1 (label=upstart), no frame action

up-button action:

  On (Roll Over)

      Set Variable: "answer.scroll" = answer.scroll-1

      Go to and Stop ("upstop")

  End On


Frame2 (label=upstop), frame action=stop

up-button action:

On (Roll Over)

      Set Variable: "answer.scroll" = answer.scroll-1

      Go to and Stop ("upstart")

End On


Regards,

Helen
