scrolling dynamic text

[pwanim22]

hi, anyone know the easiest way to do dynamic scrolling text fields (from a .txt file) with buttons to control the scrolling?.....

any help appreciated!

PLEASE HELP! The problem that I am having is with these floating text scroll bars which were created on a Mac using Flash MX.

I.E. Please go to www.ericmantel.com - click on "ENTER" click on "ABOUT ERIC" then click on "Endorsements" and you'll see exactly what I am talking about!

They need to be expanded to fit for more text if needed. The text area is too small. They can only fit a certain amount of text in the text area before it gets chopped off. I figured out on how to expand the text inside the scroll area but the text scroll bar itself doesn't stay within the scroll arrows of the scroll bar, it goes beyond. What I need to be able to do is, expand the text so the scroll bar stays within the arrows of the scroll bar. It needs to expand to the amount of text being typed inside.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! I have been trying to get this problem fixed for over a year now and no one wants to help me!

If you have two buttons, one to scroll down, and one to scroll up.

On the button to scroll down, attach this code:

on (release) {
var.scroll += 1;
}

On the one to scroll up:

on (release) {
var.scroll -= 1;
}


Instead of writing "var", you write the name that's in the "var" field in the dynamic text.
