20);

this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 30, 160,

22);

my_txt.border = true;

my_txt.multiline = false;

my_txt.wordWrap = false;

my_txt.text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing...";

scrollLeft_btn.onRelease = function() {

my_txt.hscroll -= 10;

scroll_txt.text = my_txt.hscroll+" of "+my_txt.maxhscroll;

};

scrollRight_btn.onRelease = function() {

my_txt.hscroll += 10;

scroll_txt.text = my_txt.hscroll+" of "+my_txt.maxhscroll;
