Cmon Who Knows Scroll and Maxscroll

[gmo]

I have a text field of 15 lines. I've applied a mask to reveal the first 10 lines and added up and down buttons.
I've tried a couple different methods using the scroll and maxscroll actions, but can't get it to work.

Do I have to use a blank text field and load 'my text' as a variable?

Please Help getting the text box to scroll? It seems like this should be easy. I don't know why I can't get it going.
F---ing, what does it take to scroll a text box?

Hi...
1) Frame 1: Set Variable: text="Whatever you want"
2) Name your textfield "text"(without quotes) and select 'Input Text.
3) Up button: Set Variable:
on (release) {
text.scroll = text.scroll-1;
}
4) Down button:
on (release) {
text.scroll = text.scroll+1;
}

hope this helps.

PS: If your having problems with this then check to see if your targeting using 'relative' or 'absolute', then adjust accordingly.
I mention this as I sometimes forget myself.

Thanks,,
I'll check the relative or absolute target.
