    Hi There,

    i need help badly, I have just set up a flash movie where I load a text file into flash and it scrolls. I can't seem to get the buttons to scroll. They scroll only one line at a time and I need them to scroll as long as you hold your mouse button down. This has caused me problems because the text file cannot be a movie clip, as the client is continually updating the text. So i must be able to dump a new text file into the site folder and this changes the text on screen.

    Can anybody help me PLEASE!!!!!!
