Description
Cast member property; determines the distance, in pixels, from the top of a field cast member to
the top of the field that is currently visible in the scrolling box. By changing the value for
scrollTop member property while the movie plays, you can change the section of the field that
appears in the scrolling field.
This is a way to make custom scrolling behaviors for text and field members.
For example, the following Lingo moves the field cast member Credits up or down within a field’s
box, depending on the value in the variable
sliderVal:
global sliderVal
on prepareFrame
newVal = sliderVal * 100
member("Credits").scrolltop = newVal
end
