Wp Wordpress

Fairly simple probelm. Been away from Flash for a while and struggling to relearn. Also been working more with AS3, but I am working on something that was designed using AS2(not by me). I have a dynamic text box populated by an external xml file. Works fine, however I am having hassles getting it to scroll. I only want buttons, and not a drag bar. Tried several methods I found around the forums but nothing seems to work for me. Probably only me but….any help is appreciated.

Text filed is nested as follows.

iam.theData.textBody

buttons are btn_up and btn_dwn. Both are located inside the ima clip.

What code would I need to produce smooth scrolling? Also how do I hide the buttons when not needed.

Cheers
Scott
