Flash Lite 2.x and 3.0 ActionScript Language Reference

scroll property

textFieldVariableName.scroll = x

Deprecated since Flash Player 5. This property was deprecated in favor of TextField.scroll.

Controls the display of information in a text field associated with a variable. The scroll property defines where the text field begins displaying content; after you set it, Flash Player updates it as the user scrolls through the text field. The scroll property is useful for directing users to a specific paragraph in a long passage or creating scrolling text fields. This property can be retrieved and modified.

Example

The following code is attached to an Up button that scrolls the text field named myText:


 on (release) {
 myText.scroll = myText.scroll + 1;
 }
