A very simple scrolling text field.

[Pyroclasm]

Hello every one i am new here. Can anyone here help me make a simple scrolling text field? I have paragraphs of text behind a mask, and Up and Down arrow buttons. I've gone to many site looking for tutorials, i looked at the online help for flash. But I still cannot make it work.

I've come across different approaches to doing this, but sadfully I can't get any to work at all. Such as making the text a movie clip and reversing frames on it to make it go up and just play for it to go down (no workie). Or the mytext.scroll =mytext.scroll -1...

I don't know. All I want is a scrolling text field, I don't care if the user has to keep clicking a button for the text to scroll in one direction. I have spend many days doing different tutorials and none work.

PLEASE HELP ME! :confused:
