You have to make your up and down buttons - movieClips, with 3 frames.
Frame1 = stop. Frame2 is the action to scroll. Frame 3 says go back to
frame 2. Basically, you have the action triggering the first time, but no
loop telling it to keep evaluating the scenario. There's an example and
description at www.moock.org.

Subject: FLASH: Click and hold scrollable text


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.
