Question

I am trying to move up and down in AS3 with the code below:
It’s not working because its moving the entire container up and down not just the text.

Up.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, upPressed);
Down.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, downPressed);

function upPressed(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    Rules.y += 50;
}

function downPressed(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    Rules.y -= 50;
}

Does anyone know how to move the text only?

Best Regards,
Luben

I think what you’re looking for is the scrollV property of the TextField
