Hi,
I have a scrolling text field, data on a text file (externalVariables.txt) and buttons. Data loads upon pressing the buttons using the following method:
on the main timeline:
loadVariables ("externalVariables.txt", "_root");
on each button:
on (release) {
text = variable;
}
The problem is the following: if someone presses a button, scrolls down 5 lines and then presses another button, the new data will be displayed from line 5 instead of line 1.
How do I control the position of the data, so the text is always displayed from line 1?
Thanks.
Stephanie
