HI, Im using following script to scroll text field:

on (press) {
_root.text.scroll = _root.Text.scroll + 1;
}

It scrolls down one line at a time or two (+2). Can some body help me with a script that, when I pres button it keeps on scrolling untill it reaches the last line?

Thanks In Advance.

Hello there,

Taking kglad's advice into hand you would create something like the script below.
All the code goes onto a frame in the timeline.

when your button is pressed, start a loop (setInterval or onEnterFrame) that repeatedly increments the scroll property of your textfield. you can use the maxscroll property of textfields to terminate your loop.

and flash is case sensitive and text is not a good name for a textfield (because it is a reserved word).
