Hey, I found this script while searching through the forums and I found this code to scroll through text in a text field.
on clicked the_object
set object_name to name of the_object as Unicode text
if object_name = "scroll" then
tell text field "scroll_text" of window "main"
set the_string to string value
repeat with i from 1 to (count the_string)
set string value to the_string's text i thru -1
delay 0.1
end repeat
set string value to the_string
end tell
end if
end clicked
I figured that if I put it inside an on idle handler (something like this)
on idle theObject
tell text field "scroll_text" of window "main"
set the_string to string value
repeat with i from 1 to (count the_string)
set string value to the_string's text i thru -1
delay 0.1
end repeat
set string value to the_string
end tell
end idle
that it would scroll on its own…but it didnt work…anyone know how to do it?
