Alan,

Try this... is used my "CancelPending" handler to cancel a pending message.
Simply click on the field to pause/unpause:


local maxScroll
constant scrollIncrement = 1
constant frameTime = 25
local sPaused

on startRolling -- begin rolling credits
  put the formattedHeight of me - the height of me \
      - the topMargin of me - the bottomMargin of me \
      into maxScroll -- the most this field can scroll
  put false into sPaused
  send "rollCredits" to me -- triggers the first frame
end startRolling

on rollCredits -- rolls the next bit
  set the vScroll of me to (the scroll of me + scrollIncrement)
  if the vScroll of me < maxScroll then
    -- trigger the next frame:
    send "rollCredits" to me in frameTime milliseconds
  else -- we're done:
    wait for 2 seconds -- to let the user read the last part
    hide me with visual effect dissolve
    set the vScroll of me to zero
    show me with visual effect dissolve
  end if
end rollCredits

on mouseUp
  PauseResume
end mouseUp

on PauseResume
  if sPaused then
    send "rollCredits" to me
  else
    CancelPending "rollCredits"
  end if
  put not(sPaused) into sPaused
end PauseResume

on CancelPending pWhat
if pWhat = "" then put "all" into pWhat
switch pWhat
case "all"
repeat with x = (the number of lines of the pendingmessages) down to 1
cancel (item 1 of line x of the pendingMessages)
end repeat
break
default
repeat with x = (the number of lines of the pendingmessages) down to 1
if line x of the pendingMessages contains ("," & pWhat & ",") then
cancel (item 1 of line x of the pendingMessages)
end if
end repeat
break
end switch
end CancelPending


HTH,

Ken,

Thanks for the quick response.

Unfortunately, when I pasted the script into my field, it does not seem to work.

first click - nothing. second click, text scrolls about 1 pixel, then nothing.

Overall results, similar to the stuff I wrote.

However, since mine did not use the "pendingMessages" function, I suspect you might be on the right track.

Did you actually test it? Is it possible that some differing stack or field property on my side affects this script?

Kind regards,
Alan
