FLASH: Click and hold scrollable text

[Paul Kilgour]

Hi all,


I'm trying to do some click and hold scrollable text, but it's not working.


This is the Action for the 'Up' button:


On (Press,Key:<Up>)

      Set Variable: "currentScroll" = scrollableText.scroll

      If (currentScroll > 1)

            Set Variable: "scrollableText.scroll" = currentScroll - 1

      End If

End On



This is the Action for the 'Down' button:


On (Press,Key:<Down>)

      Set Variable: "currentScroll" = scrollableText.scroll

      If (currentScroll < scrollableText.maxscroll)

            Set Variable: "scrollableText.scroll" = currentScroll + 1

      End If

End On


This is the Frame Action:


Set Variable:"scrollableText"=my text goes here"


This is as per Colin Moock's tutorial. As far as I can see. I would write to

Colin, but his site is showing a red background!!!


Basically, it's only allowing me to scroll the text one line at a time,

which is how I always had it before I tried to do it this way.


Can anyone see what's wrong?


Also, the text is coming out white! How do I get the text the colour that I

want it?


Many thanks in advance.
