help with text scroll

[HumanBean]

Hi, I have a problem
I'm making a text scroll; I've a dynamic text and two buttons for the scroll action
The problem is, I need to have more than one font inside that dynamic text, and I'm not beeing able to make that work.

Is this possible? can I have more than one font ina dynamic text? Is there another way to do the scroll that allows me to use more than one font?

thanks in advance

I think I've solved this problem; I just used "render text as HTML" in the propierties panel, and now is displayed with different fonts and colors, just as I needed.

but, now I have another problem.

This movie I'm working on must be loaded into another movie using the loadmovie action.

I've different dynamic texts, each named scrolltext_1, scrolltext_2, etc.

I've two buttons I use for scrolling up and down; this is the type of actionscript they use:

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse)) {
scrollup = true;
}
}
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
scrollup = false;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (scrollup) {
_root.scrolltext_2.scroll += 1;
}
}



the thing is, when it loads in the main movie, the scrolling doesn't seem to work. I'm quite sure that's because I'm messing up the _root value, but I don't know how to fix it.

If you know how I could solve this, please help me

Ummmmmh! Are you by any chance on MX2004?

If so, look into _lockroot...

If not, you could load your movie on another level of your main movie, where then usually no script changes are necessary, or change your references to _root to the appropriate this and/or _parent's, if you still want to load it in a container clip.

thanks a lot, I changed the _root value for _parent in all the buttons and it works.
