I can’t get the scroller working but have a workaround for anyone else who may have this problem. Not so fancy, but it works…
use a normal text field and lock the text then set the script of the field to this: local sStartV local tDistance local tStartScroll on mouseDown put the mouseV into sStartV put the scroll of me into tStartScroll end mouseDown on mouseStillDown put the mouseV - sStartV into tDistance set the scroll of me to tStartScroll - tDistance end mouseStillDown Best regards, John. > On 29 Nov 2016, at 19:46, John Allijn <john.allijn...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Good to know. > Thanks! > > >> On 29 Nov 2016, at 19:40, Richard Gaskin <ambassa...@fourthworld.com> wrote: >> >> John Allijn wrote: >> >>>> Op 29 nov. 2016 om 17:15 heeft Richard Gaskin het volgende geschreven: >>>> Widgets are great for making new kinds of objects, but if all that's >>>> needed here is to fix a bug with scrolling on the existing field >>>> object IMO that's just a bug. >>> >>> Hi Richard, >>> I don't think it's a bug.
