scroll, onRelease stop scroll (mx)

[smacklemore]

Hi there,
I thought I would be able to find a tut somewhere for this, but amazingly no.

Does anyone know how to make a mc scroller that uses up and down buttons (no bar), that starts scrolling onPress and stops on onRelease... but eases into place wherever you happen to stop?

Well,
I think I sort of answered my own question, but I doubt this is the best, most efficient way to do this.

I'm using this prototype:

MovieClip.prototype.easeScale = function (finalx, finaly, speed) {
this.onEnterFrame =function () {
this._x += Math.floor ((finalx- this._x )/speed);
this._y += Math .floor ((finaly- this ._y )/speed);
if (Math.abs (this._y - finaly) < .001) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};


... and on the up button I have:


on (press) {
***raText_mc.easeScale(0, 31, 9);
}
on (release, dragOut) {
if (***raText_mc._y >= 31){
***raText_mc.easeScale(0, 31, 6);
}
else {
***raText_mc.easeScale(0, (***raText_mc._y + 10), 6);
}
}

...and on the down button:

on (press) {
***raText_mc.easeScale(0, (***raText_mc._y - ***raText_mc._height), 10);
}
on (release, dragOut) {
***raText_mc.easeScale(0, (***raText_mc._y - 10), 6);
}

Does anyone have any suggestions?

No, seriously. Does anyone have a better way to do this? Or is this just one of those questions that gets asked too much? If so, please point me to a tutorial and accept my appology for boring you.
