Help with scrolling text

[nathper]

Hey I tried the tutorial for the actionscript scrolling text........when I try it with the available source code it works.........when I try to do it in my own flash movie I cant get the text to scroll.....I have double, trippled and many more times checked that I have the right code for the buttons and for the text to scroll....I do. But when I go and test the movie I cant get the buttons to scroll the text.......any suggestions? Thanks

when I test the movie the output box reads as follows:

Symbol=arrow down, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 1: Statement block must be terminated by '}'
on (press, release, keyPress "<Down>") {

Symbol=arrow down, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 6: Syntax error.

Could someone also tell me what the output box is for?.....
....and the text is still not scrolling :(

Statement block must be terminated by '}'


you are missing a } at the end of your code

and as long as everything is named correctly it should work fine.

GREAT!!! It works........Thanks!.....so everytime I have a problem I should look at the output box? and whatever is in between quotation marks ' ' is what's wrong?

that depends on what the problem is. But if it says that something is missing or it expects something, then you should change it.
