RE: [flasher] set .scroll text field without buttons?

[Paul Willoughby]

It's certainly possible. Something like this pseudo-code should work:


:frame 1:

currentScroll = myTextField.scroll

If (currentScroll < myTextField.maxscroll{

	myTextField.scroll = myTextField.scroll + 1

}else{

	myTextField.scroll = 1

}


:frame 2:

gotoAndPlay(1)


This would scroll the text up one line per frame and reset when the text

field reaches its maximum scrolling point.

If that's not what you're after, maybe you'd like to post the offending

code?
