Scrolling works only once

Hi,

I made a scrolling text box that I feed xml into.

The only thing is when I scroll down or up I can only get it to work once.

PHP Code:

---


on (press) { 
_root.scrollingText_mc._y = - 10;
} 


---

I want it so that every time I that I press the button that I scrolls down.
Can anyone tell me where I've gone wrong.

Thanks,
Bmcc

Change your line to this

PHP Code:

---

_root.scrollingText_mc._y -= 10; 


---

That moves the text box and not the text inside.

I'm not sure if I've done this wrong. Could you have a look?
Please!

I think I need to make a mask in Actionscript in order for this to work... buit I'm not sure and I haven't done that before.

Does anyone know???

That works but it scrolls the MC, but inisde the MC I have a createTextField which that needs to scroll.

This is my created text field which gets populated by XML

PHP Code:

---

function fnCreateText() {
    // trace('arr: '+ arPokerDates); 
    
    this.createTextField('tourny_txt',0,5,0,200,165);
    
    var myTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    
    myTextFormat.size = 10;
    myTextFormat.font = "Arial"
    myTextFormat.color = 0xFFFFFF;

    
    for (i=0; i<arPokerDates.length; i++) {
        _root.scrollingText_mc.tourny_txt.text = tourny_txt.text+arPokerDates[i][13]+' - '+arPokerDates[i][1]+newline;
        this.tourny_txt.setTextFormat(myTextFormat);
    }
}

How do I scoll that text now?
Thx,

I made a dynamic text box and filled it with text. I simply just told that text box to scroll, not the movieclip.

Code:

---

msg.scroll += 1;

---

msg being the instance name of the text box.

Wow,

Does it ever make it easy to make scrolling text box. I thought I was missing a big part but that built in function did the trick.

Many thanks,
