You could set a timer using setInterval(), like so in Flex 1.5: scrollTimer = setInterval(mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, doScroll), 500, canvas);
Put the above into your autoScroll function, move your scrolling code into new function doScroll(canvas), and then add another new function that calls clearInterval(scrollTimer) and hook it up to your HBox's mouseOut event. All that's left is to declare scrollTimer so that the functions can access it. Hope that helps!
