That's very true - the simplest thing would be:
on mouseUpOutside me
mouseUp me
end

Well, the easiest thing would probably be to slow the frame rate, unless you
have animations that need a faster rate.
In D7 you could build in a time delay, using the ticks, so that:
property pbPressed, ptTime
on mouseDown me
pbPressed = True
ptTime = the ticks
end
on prepareFrame me
if pbPressed and (the ticks >= ptTime + 30) then
member("scrolling text member"). scrollByLine(1)
ptTime = the ticks
end if
end
HOWEVER...
If you have D8, you could try to use the timeOut objects, so that instead of
it happening on prepareFrame, it happens on a timeOut handler.
This is just out-of-the-hat email lingo, but you could try:
property ptTime, pmText, pnScroll --the properties are set in the gpdl
on mouseDown me
timeOut ("scrollbar").new (ptTime, #scrollText, me)
end
on mouseUp me
timeOut ("scrollbar").forget()
end
on mouseUpOutside me
mouseUp me
end
on scrollText me
member("pmText"). scrollByLine(pnScroll)
updateStage
end
--set the propeties here:
on getPropertyDescriptionList me
gpdl = [:]
gpdl[#ptTime] = [#comment: "scroll delay in milliseconds", #format:
#integer, #default: 500]
gpdl[#pmText] = [#comment: "text cast member", #format: #member, #default:
""]
gpdl[#pnScroll] = [#comment: "scroll amount", #format: #integer, #default:
1]
return gpdl
end
"Look, mama, no flags!" ;-)
