How do you make scrolling text?

[RetroGamer1991]

When the user presses the button it scrolls once or what ever the specified scroll amount is. But I'd like for it to scroll as long as the user has the button down, yet flash only detects the button action once, which is the problem. Anyone know how to do this?

I've tried doing this like 10 different ways and still cannot get it to work. :(

Please help.

use an iframe. its like a text area with a frame in it useful for a long news document. the code is easy too.

just where you want the news type.

<iframe src=newscontent.html height = 500 width =100>

the newscontent.html is a seperate file where you keep all the news.

Check out http://javascriptsource.com

As for the Flash text: create another clip with a couple frames. On frame one add a hitTest action that checks of the mouse is on the button. This will then be checked every x number of frames.

select the text icon.. then dynamic text in the properties.. also select multiline textthen
using the mouse create a text box to the size you require the text field..

Then

click on components and drag in a scroll bar.....


Very simple.. all on the same layer.... after that just type
