AS2 dynaic text-scroll question

Greetings
I have a great text scroller file with an invisible instance of a MC, a dynamic text box,
and an up & down button MC;
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(hitTest(_parent.mouseFollower)){
_parent.scrollText_txt.scroll +=1;
}
}
and of course down has -=1

It scrolls perfectly when the button/MCs are rolled over.

Is there a way to animate the text so it starts scrolling on startup and override it to mouseover control as above (now) when the button is rolled over?

any help is good help,

thanks S4

Replace your UP code with this:

Code:

---

onClipEvent (load) {
        _root.started = false;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
        if(_root.started == false){
                _parent.scrollText_txt.scroll +=1;
        }
        if(hitTest(_parent.mouseFollower)){
                _root.started = true;
                _parent.scrollText_txt.scroll +=1;
        }
}

---

and assuming your DOWN code looks the same, just with -1, change your DOWN code to this:

Code:

---

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
        if(hitTest(_parent.mouseFollower)){
                _root.started = true;
                _parent.scrollText_txt.scroll -=1;
        }
}

---

Hope this is what you wanted :)
