Clickable Text

I'm pretty sure that this isn't possible, due to research in the help file, but BossMan thinks it is.

I've got some scrolling text & he wants to be able to click the text so when it's clicked on it stops scrolling.

onPress can only be used with BUTTONS, correct? Or is there any way to use onPress with a textbox? :cool:

onPress can be used with movieclips too..put the text scroller within a movieclip and make it stop when the movieclip is pressed!

i tried that n it didnt work
