scroll dynamic text boxs in as3.. used to use "scroll" as2

[aidanmack]

Hi, I used to hook two functions like this up to buttons to scroll dynamic scroll boxs in as2. Can i do something similar to this in as3 for dynamic txt boxs?

doScrollUp = function(){
onEnterFrame = function(){
body_txt.scroll -= 1;
}
}
doScrollDown = function(){
onEnterFrame = function(){
body_txt.scroll += 1;
}
}



Cheers

yep thats possible the syntax has changed quite a bit
try this;

//event listeners for your scroll up and down buttons
doScrollUp_mc.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK , scrollUp);
doScrollDown_mc.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, scrollDown);

//functions
function scrollUp( myevent : MouseEvent ) : void {
body_txt.scrollV--
}

function scrollDown ( myevent : MouseEvent ) : void {
body_txt.scrollV++
}
