You could try this...
In your start button script:
on mouseUp
global gAllowScroll
put true into gAllowScroll
runScroll
end mouseUp
In your card script:
on runScroll
global gAllowScroll
if not gAllowScroll then exit runScroll
set the scroll of fld myField to (the scroll of fld myField + 5)
send "runScroll" to me in 100 milliseconds
end runScroll
In your stop button script:
on mouseUp
global gAllowScroll
put empty into gAllowScroll
end mouseUp
Not tested but it should work.

Scott
