Button control

Question

Hello,
I have created buttons which enable me to scroll vertically
on an external text file. When I click on the buttons it scrolls
fine but when I hold down on them they don't work. I tried the
MouseDown event which didn't work and couldn't find any other event
that was suitable. Any help is much appreciated. Here is the code
below. I'm using CS3 Professional 9.0 on a imac.
var external_txt:TextField = new TextField();
var externalReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.spitfirestudios.net/gamut/gamut.txt");
var externalLoad:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
externalLoad.load(externalReq);
externalLoad.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textReady);
up_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, scrollUp);
down_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, scrollDown);
external_txt.x = 299;
external_txt.y = 323;
external_txt.border = false;
external_txt.width = 448.9;
external_txt.height = 180;
external_txt.wordWrap = true;
addChild(external_txt);
function textReady(event:Event):void
external_txt.text = event.target.data;
function scrollUp(event:MouseEvent):void
external_txt.scrollV --;
function scrollDown(event:MouseEvent):void
external_txt.scrollV ++;
thanks,

Not within the same menu, no. What you could do is make the very first button on the audio stream list auto activate and go on to a script which reads the settings you have just made then sends you on to an identical looking menu which itself jumps you directly to the appropriate subtitle selection button.
What the viewer sees is that they choose an audio button and then navigate to the first subtitle button they auto activate the button and jump on to a duplicate menu, but land on the appropriate subtitle selector.
It's messy, and probably best avoided... but possible to do if you really need to.
