    Change scrollItems() To this code

    function scrollItems() {
    if (ob<items+1) {
        objectX="object"+ob; y+=10; 
        document.getElementById(objectX).style.top = y + "px"
        if (y<topdistance) setTimeout("scrollItems()",speed);
        else y=-50, topdistance+=40, ob+=1, setTimeout("scrollItems()",speed);
    }
}

    See please if it works fine with you
