I need autoscrolling text... that can be manually scrolled after clicking scroll bar.

Noob here. I need vertical autoscrolling text inside a box that will stop scrolling after the user clicks on the scroll bar inside the box.

The box will contain a list of domain names that my client is selling that will scroll down to up. When the end-user wants to scroll themselves they can take control of the scroll bar. I want the text to be white and everything else transparent except the scroll bar.

Thank-you for any assistance you may be able to offer!

search for a "as2: text scroller" in flashkit or google, that wil help to start with.

Thank-you! It was a real butt pain!
I had to use a combination of .scroll and ._y functions.
Textboxes could only be 5000 pixels high so just ._y by itself was useless for my many links. And .scroll was too choppy in scrolling.

Only problem now is my if statements have disabled my hyperlinks somehow! :(

HERE IS THE FIRST LAYER WITH ACTIONS ON IT:

var gTNum:Number = getTimer();
var secNum:Number = 2;
var draftNum:Number = 0;
var textNum = -191.95;
var freeze:Boolean = false;

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

if (freeze == false) {
trace("ran");
if (getTimer()>=gTNum+secNum*1000 and draftNum >= 5) {
//trace("getTimer Method Finished "+secNum+" seconds");
myText.scroll++;
gTNum = getTimer();
draftNum = 0;
myText._y = textNum;
} else
draftNum++;
myText._y = myText._y - 0.29;
}
}

this.onRollOver = function() {
freeze = true;
//trace("true");
};
this.onRollOut = function() {
freeze = false;
//trace("false");
};

HERE IS THE SECOND LAYER WITH ACTIONS ON IT:

myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
myText.htmlText = myLoadVars.myHTMLdata;
};
myLoadVars.load("sites.txt");BitmapData
