target path trouble

[derezzz]

Hey people...
I was wondering if I could get an assist with this scroll problem I'm having.

I have a dynamic textfield called blog1
an up and a down button that is supposed to scroll the blog 1 textfield when they are rolled over. The buttons are contained in movie clips.

The blog1 textfield and the movie clips that contain my buttons are all in a movie clip called "chooseblog".

"Chooseblog" is in a movieclip called "blue_mc"

On an actions level in chooseblog I load the .txt file that populates blog1 with this command:

this.loadVariables("blog.txt") and I show the text using this command:

blog1 = blogtext.

The file is loading just fine into the textfield but the scroll isnt working.

In order to scroll I'm using:

on (rollOver) {
chooseblahg.blog1.scroll--;
}

and

on (rollOver) {
chooseblahg.blog1.scroll++;
}


I'm pretty sure I just have no idea what I'm doing with the target and reciver paths for this. Can someone please help?

Sounds like you want to target the timeline above.._parent...

on (rollOver) {
_parent.blog1.scroll--;
}
